    I’m really not sure what the above means TEXASforLIFE. 🤔 How American football works is a complete mystery to most Aussies, especially Me! 😳 Hey, I’ve often heard just how big Texas is. I’m a West Australian so I looked up the sizes of our respective states. I believe Texas is about 266,000...

    Hi alex411: Don‘t sweat on it, it was a long time ago. I lived through the ordeal and that’s all that mattered to me at the time 🙂 The receivers on the Springfield M1A were cast, not machined like the receivers on the M14. As a result, it snapped like a carrot. As much as I loved my old M1A...

    Oops, I snapped my rifle!

    Hi TEXASforLIFE, That’s really interesting. We had a few Rugby League and Aussie Rules Football players head to the US to make their fortunes. Our footy players are great at kicking a ball! Glad to hear our 3 representatives whom you met were good blokes/gals. However, I guess we’re no...

    While I’m sure it’s nothing special to my new American cobbers, this is one of my old favourites … We’re still able to own these down under too!

    Seppos? LOL, too funny KillerFord1977! Do we need to explain that one to your cobbers? Yeah, our wines are beaut! Our wine industry is having a bad time of it at the moment. Due to Australia wanting an investigation into the origins of the Beer Flu, one of our neighbours to our North...

    Yeah Bassbob, Fosters used to be popular in Oz up until the early 1970s. Not since then… When living in the US for a few months in ‘86 I remember seeing it for sale in the supermarkets. Enjoyed chatting with you Bassbob! Hope you too have a great week ahead! 👍👌🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘

    Oops, I snapped my rifle!

    Yeah, we’re pretty tight with the US on military & security issues. Several joint US/AU facilities over here. Hope your mate enjoys his stay. He’ll soon realise you can’t go wrong with Aussie beer, but just for the record, no one drinks Fosters over here! I’ll have to look up what a...

    Oops, I snapped my rifle!

    I’d love to return some day. While there I visited a gun shop in a place called Hookset. Not sure if I spelt that correctly. I was blown away as the place was like a supermarket with supermarket trolleys! Nothing like that in Oz. I wanted to buy a Remington shotgun to bring home but...

    Oops, I snapped my rifle!

    Cheers Bassbob! Yeah, we’ve have very few ‘beer flu’ cases in Australia. While we’ve been very lucky, some of our governments really have their hair on fire over it. The poor blighters in Melbourne Victoria are in their 4th lock down! In a city of 5 million, there is only 40 active cases...

    Oops, I snapped my rifle!

    Hi 10mmLife! Live Free or Die, you must be from New Hampshire. I spent 4 months in Nashua, NH in 1986 doing EW equipment training and trials with a company called Sandars. I loved it in New England, wonderful people! Thanks for the warm welcome!

    Oops, I snapped my rifle!

    Thanks for the warm welcome TidalWave! I think most older Australians are not. too fazed by firearms as they grew up with them. We’ve become a very urban and multicultural society and by far the most vocal on the topic are the younger and left leaning types. As a school boy army cadet, my...

    Oops, I snapped my rifle!

    Hi folks, I just came across this forum. I look forward to reading all the posts! I once owned a Springfield Armoury M1A rifle many years ago and loved it. Sadly, all I have now is a paperweight and a reminder of just how lucky I was on the day it in broke, 02 Dec 88. I originally bought...
