   There's a lot to be said for the "old fashioned" mechanical beam balance scales.

   If you know someone with calving cows at this time of year, see if you can get around the surrounding paddocks with a spotlight after dark once or twice. The afterbirths seem to be a real drawcard...

   Just going from memory, the set trigger feels like it has to sort of 'cam over' a sprung roller. (Similar to a cupboard door retainer) pushing the trigger forward puts it in front of the roller, as...

    "A Google search suggested the Timney Remington 799/Mini Mauser Featherweight Deluxe unit could be fitted". That's just a re-branded Zastava, so no worries!

    GC has a parts gun for $99. https://www.guncity.com/22toz-17-parts-gun-402135 They have quite a few Toz-17 parts guns. Some are a tad dearer.
