    Take it back to the guy who cut the thread, along with suppressor you intend to use. It is a simple job to repair, 15 minutes tops!

    Husky1600 liked post by gundoc On thread : Zero MOA rail/base - why?
    Zero angle bases are easier and cheaper to make. Most centrefire rifles are never used beyond 300 metres and .22's beyond 100 metres so there is absolutely no point in fitting an angled base as those...

    SixtyTen liked post by gundoc On thread : Mauser feeding and floorplate
    The back of the follower was left square in the original Mausers so it provided a solid stop to remind the soldier he was empty, but also pivoted the follower forward, bending the spring over time....

    johnd liked post by gundoc On thread : Wobbly Webley again
    A good Mk VI Webley will lock up tight when the action is cycled and the trigger held to the rear. A small amount of 'rock' is OK (about 5 thou each side). Wear in revolver timing generally occurs...

    A beautiful old classic rifle! They sure don't make 'em like that any more.

    My brother in law was a beef cattle farmer in the King Country and his 4 dogs were all different breeds but worked well. We visited many years ago with my young German Shepherd and within 2 days he...

    I should add that I used to own a .275 Rigby but all I ever shot with it was a very large boar on the back face of Mt Grey, and a possum running along a fallen tree at 20 yards which, in the fading...

    BSA270 liked post by gundoc On thread : BSA 243
    The early BSA triggers were 3 lever, and the later model 2 lever. The relationship of the parts is critical and great care must be taken during disassembly to note the correct position of the bent...
