South African weapons

[sumoj275]

I am wondering how many of us have a rifle, pistol or any South African weapons? I have a No.4 Mk I/II that is a Canadian, that went to SA, then SA after the Brit's left, and then to the US. It is not pristine, been there and done it but I have shot it out to 400 yds more than a few times.

So, who has a SA piece of history?

The lack of responses is somewhat telling, isn't it? I haven't had the pleasure of owning anything that had passed through SA ownership other than some 7.62 NATO ammo.

Yeah, havent owned any south african guns here. Sometimes you can find chilean mausers in 7mm that could have been in the boer war.

That .308 along with the .303 and 9mm was some great shooting ammo. Wish I had more of it left.

how does one tell if the gun has been to South Africa?

Ask "Het jy al ooit in Suid-Afrika?" and if it answers "Ja." it probably has been.

Nie regtig nie, baas. Net het 'n vriend wat woon in Pietermaritzburg en soms gesels (met Google se hulp).

Nope but I find the accent sexy...I know that doesn't help though, sorry. I'd LOVE to have a Canadian AR though since it's me country eh.

Broadarrow in a U for British governed SA. An M in a U is for SA go items. The best is those with both, since it has more than one Dark Continent country ownership markings. I am always looking for more.
