Failing that, anyone with a go/no go gauge suitable for 300Win Mag I can borrow?

Mildly excited by this Nibblet. Might leave the gongs up a bit longer.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

Don't get your hopes up too high. Need to find someone with go/no go gauge.
@Kiwi Greg by any chance?

I was under the impression there were no gunsmiths in Auckland, I was looking a couple of months ago. The nearest I found was in Hamilton, this fella Cleland Gunsmithing and Engineering, he came pretty highly recommended.

string round the trigger and tie it down to something heavy put a round in the bugger and stand behind a tree and tug the string you'll work out pretty quick if its not right

Arthur certainly knows his stuff. Catch him on the wrong day and he comes across grumpy as, but he's actually one of the good buggers.

Gary McColl, MAE on the shore. For headspace gauges, you can rent them from Julian at Workshop Innovations in Coatesville.
Nibblet and Micky Duck like this.10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

Gunsmithing seems to be a fast dying artform. I'd love to become one, but it appears it's very difficult to become one. You need to be an engineer to start with before transferring across to being a gunsmith.
