Thanks John.

Glad you got this sorted, Nath. I had no idea leaving a suppressor on had anything to do with barrel/muzzle condition. That wonderful little .222 made its place in the world as a darned fine benchrest cartridge, so it is supposed to shoot! (See, here in the Colonies, our goobermint is frightened to...

GunnyMack wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 4:54 am That will do fine.
From the amount of crud I'd say that was neglected for a long time.

Yes sir. The rifle is only about 20 years old and it's not shot much at all.

Nath

I picked up a cz 527 in 222 a couple of weeks ago complete with suppressor but could I get it to shoot, no! I bought with the barrel off the stock by a good amount but then noticed there was no pillar post for the forward screw so made one. IMG_20230926_204540.jpg Then I noticed a witness mark on th...

Amen Jim.

I believe that Ya* dictated the scriptures to Moses during the wilderness journey. Spirit has no dimensions or restrictions or constrictions as we know them, and spirit is not subject to or affected by time, or gravity, or anything in the created world. The idea that "simple nomads" are s...

Nath

The err date....is that the date it was made or when the tree grew?
My rifle is made from elements billions of years old etc. So just how old is it.....

Nath

Great range account Steve and if I may would like to share elsewhere.
Keep up the good work and glad you had a grand time

Nath

I broke an RWS spring! I made a solid pellet mold, weighed about 20 gr in .177. I called RWS to get a replacement, they told me to send the gun back for a warranty replacement. I told them I would replace it myself. Boy what a mistake that was! Those springs are half again as long as the receiver ,...

Nath

Thanks to all, Had a cheap springer as a kid, it was completely adequate, and I sent a lot of pellets down range. Fast forward 60 years and have a need for some light duty "jobs"..... Nath, any reason you distrust a gas cylinder? Springers are still available and inexpensive, but seems to...

I had to dig this out of the trash file...20230709_105253.jpg This fox was getting a little too bold, Parker and her puppies were in the yard with him snooping around. The only thing handy was my 177 RWS , I took the shot aboutv45 or 50 yards and it didn't go 5 steps! Who says air guns don't get th...

Last summer a Lancaster flew by.
Sounded superb.

Not jealous, not jealous, not jealous.......

Nath

Nath, I have had the Pedersoli percussion doubles in 10,12 and 20, and the Kodiak doubles in .58 and .72. None of them bruised my jaw like that 10-gauge and the loads were nowhere near your level. I have never wanted any goose that bad! :lol: Just get a good grip on the thang Bill. To be honest I n...

Nath

They are good, just as long as you grind them up, add herbs and make a meat loaf.
If you're gonna roast one place a clean new house brick in the cavity. Once roasted for nine hours remove said brick and serve sliced with vegetables.
Throw the goose away.

Nath

Great story and adventure Grizz

Nath

Good shooting Nath I bet that 4f gives it a bit more wallop .. :D It's got whallop John. It's not much different than a breech loader when leading birds on the wing. Two years ago I took one at 50yds and initially thought it was pure luck but no, when I dressed the bird it had multiple pellets in it!

Nath

Which species of goose is that?

Greylag goose.
Lol, it sure wakes you up when the trigger trips.

Nath

...fell to a muzzloader again this year. My 10g Pedersoli.
Blessed with skein passing over at speed my bird took both barrels to down it. They were a touch high!

Loaded with 100gn of 4f and 2oz of #3 tungsten matrix per barrel.
Tis' a good game gitter this'n

Great going! Tuning a trigger on the pump Crosmans is not exactly for the faint of heart. Great seeing she was aware enough to get Gramps to fix it for her. :lol: Thanks Paul. They , the triggers, aren't to bad. Bit of sear stoning, a little spring bending and some grease on the plastic bearings (!...

Thank you gents.

Never know, she might be the next Paul Mauser or JM Browning.

Nath

Thank you Jim.
Paco's articles, experience's and stories just as much as yours inspired me many many times.

May it continue and into the Kingdom.
Nath.

Wow, do they work on crosmans too?

Is just like me!
She complained about her Crosman pump master and it's trigger!
She is correct, it was abysmal!
Not anymore !

Some hog and some barrel on that xp!

Nath

That sounded fun but I'm sure it would do better sans choke.
Get the hack saw out!

Nath

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: You had a MUCH better day than I did! I went to visit a cowboy shooting club in Eastern Washington state since I'm held over awaiting a load home tomorrow. Had a great visit, but...It turned out to be an expensive trip, as just about halfway back to my hotel, the seat ...

Thanks John. They have been neglected a shade of late, it was troubling me so....

Nath, I've said it before, but you are an inspiration, sir! That's the Beretta over and under, right? 8) For what it is worth, the Victorian Riflemen lads over on the British Miitaria forum have found that dipping the noses of their .577-450 and .577 Snider cartridges into a tub of Udderly Smooth l...

Nath

Took a muzzloader out for a change. IMG_20230909_160220.jpg The 50gns of 4f was enough to give good power to 1oz of shot #7.5 size. Fouling control was via homemade lube which when mixed with the fouling does a good job on the hands! IMG_20230909_174803.jpg Just 21 down and then a thunder storm came...

Nath

Thanks gents.
Jess was handy on a couple of runners.
And yes that barrel was very hot a few times.

I didn't use a crow caller this time no.

Nath

Gave the 410 a work out this afternoon. 110 shots for 81 birds. About 50 crows and 30 pigeon. Even got a few triple birds down from this restricted three shot Mossberg.. I had heck of a good time but 410 ammo is costly, well all ammo is costly now but I reckon this afternoon cost me 50£! Oh well.......

Nath

Is the pin there to assist with lowering the carrier when the lever is closed? I noticed that my 357 AE 94 has an added sheet metal piece on the lever but I am not sure what it does. It's there to control the round next up in the magazine. 357 is to narrow for the 94 design. When working the lever ...

Nath

Excellent Bill

.
Can't wait until range day.

Nath

If it's just a roll pin some good pliers should pull it out but you may want to measure it first in case it gets mangled and needs replacing. It could just be a means to keep the shell lifter and lever all together for assembly purposes. Personally I would not fix what isn't broken! I have but wish ...

Nath

It's probably just for cartridge control. I think I see the magnetic block on the carrier that the cartridge head sticks to. The tiny pin probably cams the case up to present it to the chamber, overcoming the magnet.

Nath

Sounds like fun...and useful.

Your posts are inspirational so I don't give up hope ...

It's grand up there John

Nath

I follow the 410 topic and think that I missed out, but then I retrieve this from his hide-hole and remember the size of the hole the birdshot makes in the prickly pear, and think I should keep going with the plan, which is to get brass shells and load 2 or 3 round balls for game shots. something l...

Watched it come light slowly today as I stalked my way around. Binoculars in one hand and 30-30 in other. Not a long walk. Just nearly a mile to a long undulating field of oat stubble. Why? Well I found two fox's living on it and a small wood plot is their home. Last weekend the vixen busted me at n...

Spot on, imagine that, losing a fine bottle of scotch!! Can't bare the thought....

Yes and don't bother. An airgun is better!

Nath

Never tried any buffer, sounds a good idea though.

Hilarious.
Bagpipes come in handy sometimes!
