I'll lend you my feeler gauges to work that one out.

It's definitely not touching as you can see daylight between the scope and barrel. Uber close though!

Re: Annealing?

My apologies for the inaccuracy - just trying to make it easier to understand. Don't apologize I'm being a wanker :lol: Ned- The whole purpose of asking what methods other people are using is to ensure I'm following a tried and proven method for annealing. I can see your point of caution though. Ch...

Annealing?

Hi all. Just wondering if any of you guys are annealing your cases and how you go about it? Different methods will be appreciated. Also success stories or tales of failure from annealing would be good ie- I did x, then y happened, then tried w and got z result... if that makes sense... Cheers. James.

Re: very poor groupings

I'm not being sarcastic. To my understanding, America is the land of guns. I've heard some states have strict gun laws, but the general rule is guns are far more commonplace than in Australia. My point being is I'd be able to go hunting, compared to the hypothetical Australia where we would not be a...

Re: very poor groupings

Haha sad thing is if the Greens keep increasing the vote this all we will be shooting :-( If the situation ever turns to the point where we loose our guns, or we can't hunt (at the very least) pest species, I'm getting a one way ticket to America. Thank you :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You'r...

very poor groupings

The gun in question:

The grouping:

The gun was shot at a distance of 5 meters, free hand. Grouping was around 4 inches.

Turns out to be around 80 minutes of angle!

Good thing I didn't pay for it... :lol:

Hi all.

I'm a daily checker of used guns dot com and find these all the time

What's a tube gun?

Why's it a tube gun?

What are the disadvantages/ advantages of this over the average stock?

Cheers. James.
