What gun is that one mate?

It's sold as a Puma in Australia.Its a 22 rimfire. I have always known them as a Norinco JW15. Basically a copy of a Model 2 BRNO. I bought it cheap as a knock about rifle to carry in my tractor. I've had it for 15 years now and I couldn't begin to tell you the number of things I've shot with it. It's not a tack driver it's not smooth it just works. I have plenty of other nice rifles and I've just had the attitude, with this rifle, if it breaks I don't care but it hasn't broken yet

I know the gun, I did have one at one time. I've seen them stamped as puma and norinco
As you say good knockabout gun though.

What part of the country do you farm in?

Hope your year is going better up there than down here in Vic. I’m an agro, plenty of poor crops and bugger all feed in these parts

Nice baton!

Thanks!
Find that design allows for good "Womp!" while giving a nice comfortable grip.

Hello Sir. Did you dye the scales on this ESEE 5 to Burgundy / Maroon? Looks good. I do not think I have seen scales for ESEEs in this color.

G'day mate, this is an older ESEE 5,. I didn't buy it new but it was in as new condition when I bought it. I've only used it for skinning game and cutting out back straps. As with most of my knives that's as "hard" as I use them. When done you can image the blood that is all over everything. I wipe the blade and handle down with alcohol wipes out in the bush the best I can then back home I'll wash them with hot water and dry them and sit them in the sun to dry completely. Then before I put them back in my knife drawer I'll lightly coat them in petroleum jelly and wipe them down with a microfiber cloth because it could be 6 months before I use that knife again. I have a few different ESEEs and I like to use them all .
Here is a picture of a similar aged ESEE 5 that's done a similar amount of "work".

I hope this helps mate

C cutchu This knife gets the same treatment but it used a lot more on rabbits and hares and it's scales are a similar colour too. I guess the background light of each photo changes the colour slightly too in the photos.

As a reference they all started out about this colour.
