Well your statement pretty much covers Remingtons. Tikkas on the other hand embrace efficient European design which allows for customisation.

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 trouble

Thanks Chris, I always knew that I was an expert at something, guess I found out eh. :lol: :lol: The fix is at the halfway stage at the moment, a little welding has been done, now some judicious grinding and smoothing out, then a quick tap to put the correct thread on and hopefully my aunty will be married to a bloke called Bob tonight.
