Happy Birthday.

I hope he sees this and doesn't miss it...

(It's ok, I'll show my self out)

BTW Barry,

That's one of your hides under the bag...

I have been thinking about this idea for a while. I guess I am getting lazy but a bag with wheels has begun to appeal. So I have been looking at a few ideas. Today we were at a shopping mall that has golf shop, so we wandered in and had a squint. Apparently golfists have wheeled bags that they put t...

Excuse my ignorance, but what does a 'reloading app' give you that a reloading manual and range time doesn't?

I imagine that the app is a source of data but reality says trigger time will tell the truth.

I got them from Mini Bearings Australia https://www.minibearings.com.au/ For the clubman bolt I needed a 14mm Internal Diameter (ID) and wanted to shim up in 0.1mm increments so the part number I used was: W0140-FP-020-001-C Washers - Flat - Carbon Spring Steel - Precision Shim Nom. ID (d) (mm): 14 ...

Shims turned up 3 working days after I ordered them.

Trimmed a couple and put them in the bolt. The pin imprint is better. I have added .2mm (2 x shims).

Next time at the range, I'll take a couple of extras to experiment with headspace and misfiring.

Precisely my opening gambit in the discussion that followed...

Let's see what happens when Mrs Rabz has an excursion to work in the office...

I recent times we have had an infestation of Indian Mynahs. 20 or 30 at at time end up in our back garden. I put a scope on one of my lower power springers and got it sighted in last time I was out at the farm. Time for a cull. It was not to be. While setting up I was watching their behaviour to wor...

You'll need to disassemble the bolt to measure the outside diameter of the bolt body where it goes inside the bolt handle assembly. That will give you an idea of the inside diameter of the shim. The outside diameter of the shim will match the outside diameter of the handle assembly - but chances are...

Ok, I stole some images instead. The shim: https://www.minibearings.com.au/images/product_images_p/precisionshimwasher.png Where the shim goes: Shim location.jpg The locking lug fixes the location of the bolt handle assembly in relation to the breech face. By putting a shim between the handle assemb...

Some time back I had a Mod.2 Brno bolt that was quite sloppy around the bolt handle and ignition was not the best. I shimmed up the play in front of the handle and problem fixed. I always decock my bolts whenstoring. Cheers, Trevor. Not being an expert amateur gunsmith could you explain how and whe...

Hmm, sounds a lot like my issue (despite them being different beasts altogether). Are you getting failures to fire? That's my problem. Not sure if it's the pin, spring, or wear on the bolt/receiver lock up. Yes. Plus the firing pin imprint on the rim was not very deep. Some time back I had a Mod.2 ...

Cheers, if I have no luck with the shims then I'll give then a call.

Thanks

I did some more disassembly and diagnosis this afternoon. I have another Clubman (and all sorts of bits) in the safe, so I disassembled its bolt and compared springs and there's not much difference, so swapped the springs and the pin indent was still marginal. Swapped the spring back into the spare ...

You may well be right.

Any suggestions on such a gunsmith?
