Nice collection Tony,I was under the impression firearms were banned in your country,glad to see you are able to enjoy this obsession

tonyb · 01-04-2007, 04:12 AM

Not banned but heavily policed , in this state we can pretty much collect any pistols we like but we are not allowed to use them except at specially sanctioned shoots.
We will continue to collect and enjoy while we can,.

Cheers tony.
