Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Finally got my rifles fully sorted, I think I'm covered on all bases so no more buying/swapping/changing for a while... from back to front

Blaser r8 6xc, zeiss hd5 5-25x50, dpt suppressor. Scary accurate and set up for varminting/farm shooting

Tikka t3 7mm rem mag, fluted barrel, hydrodipped carbon stock, vx6 3-18x44, limb saver and stock pack to make things abbot more comfy. 5 into a ragged hole last night is a constant .5moa rifle. Used for High country where longer shots are likely

And my favourite, Forbes 308, Swarovski z3 3-10x42 with BRH reticle, crazy light, crazy accurate like most modern rifles. It's my hack rifle and will be doing some hard yards in firodland come Thursday.

You did one thing right: bought 308 :-) and you bought it in a evil semi!. I had one and it was great fun just too heavy for my liking. Looking forward to seeing some dead animals with it aye!

Newest addition to the collection. Winchester 94 30-30, Serial number indicates made in the 90s so not super rare but still a beauty

gotta get me a lever action one of these days

I've gotta admit this was an impulse buy but after doing some research I think I did well.

Yeah, every gun nut should have a piece of history like a lever. I've got an early Rossi 92 44/40 that looks like it was made in 1900, patina and stock bruising looks sweet.

Recently during a shoot, the whole assembly shot out the bottom. Seems I've all the parts but for some reason the retaining pin won't remain captive in the well. If you compared mine to yours does it appear as if I'm missing something?

The last pic suggests that it is held captive but it isn't, loading the magazine or the motion of a round being picked up from it, moves the plate and the pin just pops out.

The exploded diagram of this particular area doesn't suggest I am? Unless I'm looking against my eyelids, which has been known to occur.
@gundoc

Not sure if the Doc can help?

The floorplate plunger is retained by a small cross pin. The trigger guard needs to be removed to access it.

Nice gun I had 1 for a long time as a pig shooter , good actions they can take some abuse
