    mudgripz the Excl Lite Chassis was never as Lite as it was supposed to be, and the polymer forend is not stiff. It twists quite happily. However, having used it since it finally made it to NZ,...

    I was thinking of going down the chassis route with my howa mini but the chassis in my price range were heavier than the standard stock. I ended up just stiffening the fore end and keeping it in the...

    mudgripz liked post by rupert On thread : tidy up crown on .22lr
    I used a brass screw with a round slotted head from Mitre 10. I chose the size that was about twice as big as the bore. I think it could have been smaller. I checked the head of the screw for flaws...

    mudgripz liked post by Southcity On thread : Comparing the old with the new.
    I’m a fan of ‘old school’ quality but new. A good example is Schultz and Larsen. Metal work of refined quality, cut rifles barrels, and extremely accurate. To make modern rifles economic, mass...

    mudgripz liked post by ChrisW On thread : Comparing the old with the new.
    I think part of is that modern rifles use more stamped and cast parts (not to mention plastic), whereas almost everything on the old guns is machined. Everything just gives the aura of quality as the...

    I think we need to establish some benchmarks and comparisons. For example: Budget Rifles,then and now Medium priced Rifles,then and now Premium Rifles,then and now.

    mudgripz liked post by No good names left On thread : 22lr Barrel Chopping Question.
    The off centre bores are easily crowned true to the bore but tend to look a bit shit as it leaves an uneven ring between the crown and barrel. If you thread it the muzzle will look good and the...

    Yes - thread that J!-15 and install a screw-on suppressor. No-one will notice the off centre and you will have a reliable , cheap rifle.

    mudgripz liked post by Mintie On thread : 22lr Barrel Chopping Question.
    Chop it short and be happy, all bar 2 of my .22s have been chopped short and they have all either kept the same accuracy or improved in accuracy and the improvements in weight and handling are huge.

    Mudgripz post #31 sums it up nicely! From the late 50's to the early 70's, I used a Lithgow single shot as a "field" rifle - That little gun taught me how to shoot straight and make the first shot...
