Aussie gun writer,
Your mention of Australia is amusing. Most of us had forgotten it existed and heard that guns are banned there now.
Like the whopper that Aussies drink Fosters, which is considered "fly spray", most stories I hear of Aussieland are simply not true or grossly exaggerated.

John we've moved on from fly spray and now generously refer to Fosters as horse p!ss.
Col Allison and Nick Harvey were my boyhood influences in Aussie gun rags. Col for his love and knowledge of fine customs and Nick via the sheer volume of his experience and technical expertise. He also seemed practically minded as well.
Never heard of O'Connor or Keith until - like you - my ideology had been set. More recently I've found Craig Boddington a no-BS writer who's ethos seems compatible with my own.
I really admire John Barsness for his honest writing and accessibility.
Recently I read "Hell, I Was There!" and would like to get my hands on some O'Connor stuff.
As an aside I'm still trawling through several feet of 80s to 90s era Aus Shooters Journals and enjoying your work all over again!
