The firearm thread

[Mr Merde]

So you're saying my rifle prefers to take it up the arse... did I get that right? (and thanks... worth knowing)

An interesting analogy.

I've always thought of the breech as a mouth, and the muzzle as a, um, er, urethra, I suppose.

Being as firearms are more or less an ejaculatory compensation.

Well, I know they are for me...

I pity she who is about to receive then...

As long as the bit that goes bang isnt facing towards me, you can say whatever you like

I have the same analogy as jrandom though

Just beware that you can wear the crown of your rifling with these. I use a similar system for my 12 guage but for rifles it is always a solid rod, fed from the action.
If you use one of these, it has to be pulled perfectly central, to guarantee that it does not rub and wear the crown unevenly.

Hence another reason why 303s end up losing their good accuracy - lots cleaning and the owner tends to hold the rifle the same way each time.

the old pull-through tends to hold abrasives and they tend to get dragged across the same section of muzzle, slowly abrading it.

A worn muzzle is death on accuracy.

Which is why when using a cleaning rod I always use a rod guide.

The secret is: don't clean 'em

Um..... er... I guess so - IF it is a bolt action! A rod guide is a good investment to keep it's bum clean.

I think I better stop right now.

Little article I wrote not so long ago.

Anyone got any idea as to the current value of a Savage .22 Semiauto Rifle, 15 shot mag (tube type), its around 10 year old but only had less than 100 rounds through it.. as new condition..

Never believe anyone when they say, "Has had less than X" rounds through it." Its an easily told lie and impossible to prove. Besides, anything less that 4000 rounds through a .22 thats been looked after is nothing.

I would say about $175 to $250. $300 at a push.

You can buy a brand new Norinco (Granted its not a savage, but still) with scope and extra mag for $299 these days.

I go by the condition of the rifle more than anything - peer down the barrel, check the action, look for wear in critical areas, A few dings in the furniture can be expected but not signs of outright abuse; worn blueing is acceptable so long as the weapon itself - especially rifling and action - is not too worn.

Pays to be cautious with anything that has a contained explosion as its driving force and is placed close to vital areas of the body during operation - even a .22 can send the bolt back into your chops if badly damaged.

Tis true. Thats another reason why you cannot believe. "Has less than 100 rounds through it"

LOL, a few too many assumptions here I think, the .22 is mine, bought new, but as I dont use it anymore I am thinking of getting rid and although it cost around $800 when bought I have no idea of current values.. and yep, its true, its only had a couple of boxes through it... I just cant decide to keep or get rid... Keep thinking one day I might just have time to go rabbiting again

Keep it. If there is always the chance you will go again and its not in the way then why sell?
