  • E - Gazette Mk II
    E - Gazette Mk II New Zealand Antique & Historical Arms Association Inc. # 72 January 2017 http://www.antiquearms.org.nz/ EDITORIAL This has been an interesting year for our firearm community and is likely to get more so in 2017. We have had to deal with the Select Committee Inquiry into how Criminals access guns, in addition Police requiring gun safes to be certified, dealer to dealer transfers to use the mail order process, changes to the OA length of MSSAs with retracting butts, and long delays in issuing import permits, plus Fish & Game banning lead shot in sub gauges. 2017 will see the Select Committee report presented to Parliament with recommendations to solve the problem of illegal guns in the hands of criminals. We already know that Police are in the process of reviewing all aspects of the Arms Act and its administration. Based on submissions made to the inquiry we could be faced with registration of all firearms, which would entail a permit to procure each time you buy a new gun (at what cost?), much tougher security for storage of firearms, together with more restrictions on the sale and purchase of firearms and ammunition. Whatever develops in the way of changes to our current arms legislation it is us collectors who have the most to lose, it is therefore most important that we as individuals make the effort to let the politicians know our views and concerns with any new legislation. We can do this by talking or writing to our local MPs and Ministers. A large number of individual firearm owners making their voice heard in Parliament will have a greater impact, than form letters and petitions, especially in an election year.

READ CAREFULLY! (1) All firearms, barrels, and processes listed in this document are approved by the Board of Directors for use in shooting activities of the North-South Skirmish Association, Inc. They have received “Production Approval”, which means that as manufactured they are pre-approved for skirmish use. An arm or barrel which has been altered or modified must be submitted to the Small Arms Committee for individual approval and must be issued a Small Arms Committee approval card before it can be used in a skirmish. It is the responsibility of the skirmisher to find out if planned or executed changes might void the existing approval of an arm or a barrel, and to submit altered production arms and/or barrels to the Small Arms Committee for consideration. If you are considering making any changes to an approved arm or barrel it is good practice to discuss it first with a member of the Small Arms Committee. 2. The Small Arms Committee must individually approve custom-made arms for which the maker does not have production approval, and a Small Arms Committee individual approval card must be carried for that arm as evidence of that approval.

Phil Cregeen, Editor [email protected] AN INTERESTING BAYONET by Phil Cregeen © 2012 I must confess I bought the top bayonet in the above picture on Trade Me on impulse, because it intrigued me. Was it 1.a genuine officially modified Pattern ’07 or 2. one cut down by a collector to emulate a trials bayonet such as the Australian Shortened and Lightened No 1 (see BCB A12) or Owen bayonet (see BCB A 13), or 3. had a pig hunter cut it down for a pig sticker? As you can see it is very similar to an Australian Owen gun bayonet (lower) and it came in an Owen bayonet scabbard marked MANGROVITE ’44. However the bayonet itself is manufactured by MOLE and dated 3/18. Like the Owen Mk I Bayonet introduced in 1944 it has a10 inch blade, however the fuller carries through the point and this has only been curved on the lower side unlike the Owen which has a slight curve on the top of the point. Note too that India shortened many Pat ’07 bayonets including British & Australian ones although these normally had 12 inch blades.
