25.01.2022 With the Covid19 restrictions being relaxed in Queensland on Friday, does this mean we can go to the gun shops again?

20.01.2022 Slazenger Sporting Rifle Slazenger The association between Slazengers Australia and the Factory began c.1930 when the Factory manufactured golf club heads for the company, and continued when Slazengers began making .303 rifle woodwork in 1941 as a feeder factory during World War II. Famous Australian sharp shooter Lionel Hartley Bibby worked for Slazengers and consulted with the Factory on the design of all of the Slazenger rifle models. A project between the Factory and Slan...zengers resulted in production of the very popular single-shot .22 bolt action Slazenger sporting rifles from 1945. These rifles used the same barrel steel as the legendary SMLE and almost 18,000 were delivered in the first year of manufacture. The 'Model 1' was followed by the 'Model 1A' and the 'Model 1B'. In 1947 a .22 bolt action repeating model, the 'Model 12' with a 5-round magazine was added to the range. C.1953 saw the introduction of the "Bibby" 10-round magazine. Then in 1949 a higher powered rifle, the 'Model 24' using the .22 Hornet cartridge, and a single shot bolt action shotgun using the .410" cartridge were introduced. Both of these new rifles were built on the SMLE action. Prototypes of another rifle in .310 cadet calibre, also based on the SMLE action, were built, but this project never went ahead. In 1955 a short barrel version of the Model 12 was introduced as the 'Model 55'. Originally meant as a stop-gap measure until US imports of hunting/sporting rifles were again available after World War II, the Slazengers proved so popular that production continued until c.1961. All of these rifles were distributed by Slazengers. By the time production ceased the Factory had produced around 220,000 single shot .22 rifles, 85,000 .22 repeating rifles, 7,700 Hornet repeating rifles, and 6,800 .410 shotguns.
