Well your statement pretty much covers Remingtons. Tikkas on the other hand embrace efficient European design which allows for customisation.DSD wrote:Yeah its like all products that are made to fail, plenty of knowledge on how to fix them.kickinback wrote:Oh, and if it was a tikka it would have been fixed in 2 minutes.

Don't worry Camel when you reach my age you just say. " Oh shit " and move on.
By the second beer it usually doesn't seem that bad.

2 minute tikka fixes. Maybe a member with knowledge on tikkas should have come to the march missathon so mr mctikka from melbourne would not have had to go home early when his firearm had troublekickinback wrote:Oh, and if it was a tikka it would have been fixed in 2 minutes.
