Dangerous advice!!!
@ 10:56 pm (GMT) |
bryan longWell I got these books and I'm half way through 4 of themSo I'm sticking with the program, no excuses, no bullshit ordered a Tru-Spec Boonie sorted a soft day pack but WHOA, kit list for testing and maintenance ends with WIFE this seems very high risk, the secondhand market is full of older used explosive models. Theres a big danger of hearing loss with long term ownership. I'm not sure I got the budget for one(I've emailed the bank about sending mr a few more cedit cards) I've googled bedding, this looks very interesting and I'm going to persue more research there. But it says you mightn't know the results of bedding for 9 months??? Will there be a Wifey book in the series? Storage, maintenance "the art of not being killed by one" |

Nathan FosterRe: Dangerous advice!!!Hi Bryan, I was lucky enough to purchase a new one during the early 1990's.You could start with a new young model but you must be prepared to go through the break in phase and learn how to get the best out of that model. The new light weights require solid technique otherwise they can boot you into next week. With preowned, even though they may have some mileage on them, they have gone through the break in phase and can produce outstanding performance. Not much help really but as long as you keep them maintained with a good lube and focus on technique, they can last a lifetime and bring unending happiness. And whether it comes to bedding a new one or rebedding a preowned model, patience and attention to detail are paramount. As I have said in the books, you need to have the perseverance to do this over and over again until you get it right. |

Andrew MurrayRe: Dangerous advice!!!When it comes to wives... I am someone barely big enough to fire a 22, yet have managed to find myself a 50BMG.Or to borrow a boxing term, punching well above my weight. Without my wife I'd be nowhere pleasant. She is my biggest supporter and greatest strength. I overheard some blokes making some rather terrible jokes about their wives at the range the other day. Young guys, tactical beards, lego rifles, no idea about how to treat their life partners. Was very sad. Cherish your wife! |

Thomas KitchenRe: Dangerous advice!!!I managed to get myself a short action model little bit older but built properly like they use to be.anyway I bedded it and manage load a sabot into it, well bugger me it looks more like a rsaum now, same length but more diameter, classic feeding issues and seem to run at higher pressure now. Any way not long and it should go back to an 08 case but I'll have a 22lr I'll have to spend lot of time with to make sure it's a straight shooter. Great laugh bryan cheers |

Paul LevermanRe: Dangerous advice!!!You young'uns don't know nothin' 'bout "how they used to build'em". Back in the day I tell ya, there was two kinds. One was built for speed, the other for comfort. Both models were a handful or better, I tell ya. Some of them fast ones, they had the miles on'em fur sure, but they could still pop yur eyes out faster'n you could spit and lick. Now them comfort models, I'll tell ya, they had more cushion fer the pushin', but holy mackerel, were they high maintenance. They needed a lube just about every wakin' moment, and you'd be damned if you didn't keep up, I'll tell ya. Some of them fancy ones, well them there high beams would just about poke a fellas eye out if he wasn't careful. And the trunks they used to put on them custom models, I tell ya, a guy could lose hisself just lookin' at all the options. |

mark korteRe: Dangerous advice!!!These are all reasons why I have stayed away from the legal aspect of this topic. I have found that much of the above hassle can be avoided by keeping it on a mutually friendly user level. Keeps me more consistent and in form as well - it forces one to take nothing for granted. If recoil becomes unbearable you can move on to something a little more user friendly without all the legalese and government required paperwork. |

Mike DavisRe: Dangerous advice!!!after trying out a few models,both new and well used I settled for a younger version with low milage..20 years later the initial bedding stage is a happy memory but the bonding has lasted the distance so bedding is still firm.... wouldnt dream of trading it in on newer model....Im just about worn down to correct tolerances now and bedding another would cause a barrelling issue which would require a whole new start over...very time consuming not to mention very expensive excercise....happy wife = happy life guys...... the cup I drink my bed time tea and the bumper of my work truck both contain the magic words I LOVE MY WIFE,life is great,keep it simple as we are after all simple male folk. |

Joshua MayfieldRe: Dangerous advice!!!Just passed the ten year mark this month. In the early days I prided myself on having made an excellent choice of a model that is both highly utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing, but would require some fine tuning. Lately, I have begun to realize that one of two things must be true: Either A) failures to perform perfectly in the field are actually "shooter error" or B) it is possible that in the truest application of the metaphor, I'm not the shooter at all. It's a little mind-bending, but I have no complaints. I'm with you, Mike. The older I get the more I see that it is I who more accurately equates to the simple, rough, in-need-of-refinement tool and she who has all the creativity and sophistication which I can't even quite understand. |
