  10. 17 HMR problem

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted

    Only problem for me so far is with Winchesters not firing.

    I put one through 3 times 2 hit close together the last hit that fired it was 180°round and the back of the case blew where the 2 close hits were resulting in smoke n fire n bits of powder coming out the breech.

    Got some old hornady that caused no problems and a newer lot of Winchester and hornady to see how they go.

    Tried cci fmj on targets and had no misfires.

  12. Detox drink

    borrowed from news thump and cleaned up as im not linking it because it might have a wee bit of swearing but it has a point

     

    What the **** is a ‘detox’? asks your liver

    Your liver reckons that if you think you need a ‘January detox diet’ then you probably didn’t listen during Biology lessons at school.

    The large, grey, floppy organ that lives in your tummy and works 24/7 to remove toxins from your system wants you to know that deciding to live on kale and banana smoothies for a week will not make the slightest difference to its functioning.

    The liver, which actually knows what it’s doing, added that as long as you don’t overdo it over a period of many years, you may as well just get on with your life as it’s already on that job and looking out for you.

    In combination with several other organs including your heart, spleen and most of your intestines, it issued a statement confirming that human biology is actually fairly complex and you aren’t going to trick it by eating nothing but tomatoes until next Tuesday.

    Having a carrot juice enema is also a waste of everyone’s time, they added.

    “All these diets say that toxins build up in your system”, patiently explained your liver, which is the product of billions of years of evolution to prevent exactly that happening.

    “Can they hell . I’ll tell you this: if ‘toxins’ have ‘built up in your system’, that means I’m not working and you’re in way bigger trouble than eating broccoli soup can tackle.

    “For the sake of clarity, I’m talking ‘God call me an ambulance right now’ levels of oh poo, not ‘I’ll eat fewer profiteroles and jam’.

    “Anyone telling you that their diet can remove toxins is taking the urine And that’s the kidney’s job.”

  21. Kangoo injectors

    in Motoring Section

    Wouldn't have thought all the injectors have gone at the same time I've replaced the odd one but I'm sure they suffer from fuel pump failure when loads of tiny bits of metal from the pump take all the injectors out, watch out for sparkly diesel in the system.

    Even when I've replaced one when the pump was ok it misfired for a while before it ran ok.

  22. Lever Action 22rf

    in Wanted

    Posted

    I've had a few but don't want to sell what I have.

    If you read the reviews on Marlin 39's they are brilliant things, well except the 39TDS (where my username came from). They are rubbish and I would avoid one like the plague!

    Never shot a Henry but never heard anyone complain about one either. a bit "cheap" maybe but not sure that would matter to me.

    Had a couple of Winchesters (still do) 9422 in .22lr and also in WMR. Damned good guns but have to admit my WMR isn't particularly accurate. I'm talking 2" at 80-100 yards.

     

    If I was out to buy a .22lr lever action it would be a Winchester 9422 first by a long way, a new or good used Henry next and failing that it would be a Marlin but the Marlin would have to be an old one and no safety catch. Even then I wouldn't pay for it unless I was allowed to put an absolute minimum of 50 rounds through it to make sure it actually worked.

     

    Hope that is some help to you.

    Yes a lot of help thanks I know where there are old marlins and a decent henry and a bit rough miroku also I'm on the lookout for a 357 lever gun too but only new henry and rossi close by
