Thanks mate.

Hi all. So here in Australia, I just saw an ad for the 25 cal Airforce Escape. I really like the idea of the Walthar barrel for pushing slugs at ranges say between 50 to 100 metres. (55 - 110 y). I know they are single shot (which is fine by me). I know there wouldn’t be a huge shot count...

You are making my trigger finger very itchy with all those starlings. I have been invited to a few vineyards here in Australia for some ‘pest management in December / January. This is when the grapes ripen and the starling clouds arrive. 12 gauge with bird shot is the preferred method but I...

I just pulled apart the high press check valve in my 3 stage FX pump, because it was springing back at the bottom of the stroke to about 50% extension. Found the check valve o ring damaged and put the blame at myself because I had a silly ‘mini workout’ and pumped about 200 cycles without...

I resemble that remark. ( the fat arse bit). Should I be offended or keep pumping?

I know this may sound weird but I like my hand pump. 3 stage FX that came with the rifle as a package deal. 50 or so pumps between a cool down for me me (and the pump). Almost resembles exercise, and with my belly, I can use a bit. Also have a small reserve scuba tank rated to 3000 psi so I...

Just watched it Sam. Love the bonus Indian mynas. I quite often catch them when they decide to enter a plane that has its door open but no one around. Crap all over the interior. If I catch em, they die before I reach the bin to dump the carcass. Guess who gets to clean the poo off the...

Ahh Sparrow’s fart. Forgive my Aussie slang. Sparrows fart sort of translates into first light to sunrise. You know how birds (including sparrows) start chirping at first light and well...... when I wake up the first thing I do is point my bum away from the missus and drop an acoustic event...

So I went to my brothers property, to run my Streamline over his chrony, and adjust the hammer spring. Got that all sorted. Zeroed for 50 metres (55 yards). Woke up at sparrows fart the next morning, went for a slow walk along the creek gully and there it is. A single rabbit oblivious to my...

Oh yeah. Big fan of the 35mm film containers. Damn digital cameras have sort of dried up the endless supply of those. From waterproof match containers to storing fish hooks n sinkers in small enough quantities that you didn’t have to sacrifice 3/4 of the box to rust. Love the film canister...

Thanks for the info. By all means please send those lizards to the other side. We have serious feral animal problems here in Australia so yeah I am all for that. Remember, if it’s feral, it’s in peril. Just a heads up. You can reduce the chances of metal cancer by applying a dissolved wax...

No attack noted. Sorry if I explained in too simple terms. Hey i’m curious how titanium is anodised. Same process as aluminium? Did a bit of backyard anodising for reasons more for ‘I can do this’ than for practicality. By the way, you have just reminded me of a bloke I worked with who grabbed...

 

That’s a great chart. I knew titanium was a noble metal but that is really at the nasty end of the scale. That would turn any aluminium into an expensive battery real quick.

That’s some awesome shooting. Sure does pay to know your distances in and around your yard. In my opinion, your girl is a keeper. I just can’t picture my wife pulling a fresh roadkill kangaroo into her car. Then again, we aren’t allowed to. Laws here state that you must not take it, but...

Sorry I didn’t include the details. I just figured that being ebay, it’s the kind of here now gone tomorrow products. So from the data plate it says Designed by Skymen Cleaning Equipment Shenzhen Co Ltd. Model no JP-008. Dont worry about the bone marrow damage. Just turn the bloody thing off...

It was one I bought on eBay. Not a super cheapy, but the smallest model of their line. Quite inexpensive. Wife loves it for cleaning her jewellery. Bear in mind this is in Australia. It is rated at 35 watts, 240 volts and I run it for 5 minutes with a little detergent, then rinse out and...

Nice one! I can taste the crackling already. Now I want ribs for dinner. Damn!

Yes I do clean my pellets. I have a small ultrasonic cleaner which I use and wash a tin at a time. Does it help? Don’t know, but it does dislodge small pieces of lead from poorly swaged pellets that may have looked ok on inspection. These bits may otherwise break off / dislodge when firing and...

Awesome (if somewhat painful) results. wyshadow, please check your private mail.
