    Gerry, are you originally from SA ?
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I figured there had to be a strong connection. Was in captown last summer, drove all around the eastern cape, awesome part of the country. Half my family are in Zambia, so I try and spend time there when I can... and planning to be there for the majority of the time once I retire.

    My dad lived in Nairobi in the 90’s and I spent a lot of time out there, I even found a job and had plans of spending my life there.

    Sadly you are right, it is a rapidly changing place

    Zambia at least is still mostly peaceful, but still plenty to improve...

    Wow , that's amazing !

    My dad and his brother were both in the army during the Mau Mau uprising, dad's elder brother was killed .

    Thus, when UK handed Kenya to the Mau Mau leader, we left , ended in South Africa .

    But when SA first changed government, I was pretty positive it would work.

    However, when Madiba handed over the reins..... the rot set in quickly.

    Time to move on again, at 50 years old !!

    Back in the late 50's early 60's my Uncle was some sort of district commissioner / game warden around Nairobi.

    Unfortunately he & my father never got on, so I knew little or nothing until after both had passed away.
