The thing I did not realize is that my boet is a very successful man earning a very good in excess of needs salary. He lives in a outback part of a small town that is rather protected from the real world.

When we drove through to Melbourne, the crime, drugs and just barely earning enough became far more evident.
I then realized that I thought my brothers life and living space, place was Australia - like people think California is girls, waves, sun and parties.

I have begun to realize that we only see that which makes it through the system, including adds and expertise. ]]> General Discussion Treeman https://systemz.online/general-discussion/gunsmithing-machining/#post-3984 https://systemz.online/general-discussion/gunsmithing-machining/#post-3981 Mon, 19 Feb 2024 21:42:52 +0000

Why South Africa sucks ... >:(

Busy with my project - so I write / send email to a number of gunsmiths / die makers / gun-shops others busy in competition shooting
South African normal = weeks later NO reply , Nothing not even a .. thank you for your mail we cannot help you

So I send email to my reamer manufacturer in the US
The main designer - a WORLD class shooter replies SAME DAY - with a lot of helpful information

Forgive me when there are many days that I feel UTTERLY ashamed to be a South African !

Practical Machinist - Gunsmithing

A wonderful place for anyone interested in this stuff
Most of the work described here is largely verboten in this country
but
BEWARE - they also talk freely about the American Constitution and other such "unrelated" stuff
Sadly here firearm ownership is a privilege and not a right - NO second Amendment !

Anyone here making their own barrels ?
