the all aussie dribble thread!

thats good stuff David .... now it's good to see you know a good 477 meg antenna (if there's any such thing ) when you see one

now if that is a diesel it will one day crack and then break off at the top of the top phase coil when and if it does don't try and weld it

as it will just break again .

so what you do is cut it at the bottom of the same coil and what you end up with is an antenna that is 7dbi and the difference is not

even 1/2 an s point .

in origanal form they are 3x 5/8 element vertical at 9 dbi and after the mod they are 2x 5/8 element at 7dbi and a lot stronger .

now on another note i sharpened my 1st two chains today filled up and ran the saws for the first time this year and yep it feels

good to know i still can ....

cheers D

reloading query dear cobbers

Shot off some new factory Winny 223 45 grain hollow points yesterday I was just plinking 300 yards at range to get the brass for reloading for No1
Butts called to say a few had key holed in and one flew over top of target even thou is was spanking 4-5-6 with out any effort
At my end the rifle crack was odd as well I had been shooting 55 soft points no probs but then switched to 45g hollows as had hand hand full
Anyhoo skip to the end i was prepping to reload and waaht find split necks on 4 out of say 25 rounds.




what would do this? should I dump the whole bunch. I will check the barrel for injury

 

[deye223]

lack of annealing at the factory . i gather this it the white box ammo if so there isn't as QC on manufacture with this stuff that and excessive neck clearance

measure the neck clearance of a case and let us know the difference between that and one that has a pill in it unfired anything over 0.010" for a factory barrel

is excessive .

 

[derwoodii]

your right winny bulk pak white box I not had issue with this stuff before.
following your advice i measured OD neck size of a handfull all about same but i had deprimmed and dye neck resizes same press so could not say what it was before resize all about spec or near nuff. I'm thinking smaller 45g pill allowed to much expansion in chamber and so some split

Unfired 45g hollow neck 6.29mm - 246 inch fired reloaded neck 6.50 - 260 inch this is all OD measurement so case thickness play role
Might just chuck em only 20 or so as like to be 100% confident with case for reloads

Stuck the 066 into some cypress this arvo. Seems to be running good with the BB kit and mild port job. Also put some 661 rings in it for a bit of extra kick

Picked up another saw yesterday, STIHL 031, dont know what model it is, was told it wouldnt start but have another one here so will make one good one out of 2
the serial no is 5118753, so what year was it made
It has really good compression as it will hold the saw on compression stroke by the pull starter

Peter 92 if thats a chainbrake on the side its a great score and one of the saws made towards the end of the 031 production run I think that makes it a avqs.

Yes it is the chain brake, it doesnt have the plate on the top so how can i tell if it is an AV or the AVQS

[raumati01]

I think qs is quick stop-a chain brake. I've enever seen a 031 that wasn't av, maybe the really early ones are. I think yours should have electronic ignition too.

yeah i hope so, or it will have, ive got to put the oil pump back on it, but can take that off the parts saw

 

[bennn*e]

Missed the saw hiding behind the jerry can

similar to that one

 

[bennn*e]

That can be done mate, I'd be happy to muck about with it for you. If you decide to send it, you need to send carby, emulsion block, piston / cylinder and exhaust.
I usually prefer the whole saw, its easier that way and I can test the saw on site.

(your the only one who noticed the higher revs she was pulling under load and if I dial it in and run a proper race chain, it is surprising how quick it cuts.) Of coarse your a trained Stihl man and 090 owner so I guess you should of noticed too.

I know she's turning a darn sight quicker then mine. Was up at matts taking the ends of a river red with it. He said it was bogging down in the cut a bit, enlightened him it had a 8z sprocket and .404 std semi chisel not skip and a 6ft bar. He said it did all right then

I remember that pic which is a beaut, long bar and ''all but solid dry hard wood '',,,, yep that's a job for a real 90 and not a bloody toy.

Found this tonight going through some footage,, thought it may interest some of you chaps.
A certain camera lady getting into me for little saw dust in her general direction,,, its a tough job being in the arena some times and these video girls do a top job trying to pic winners and place getters (and seldom ever get any thanks for it). I'm sure Donna will get me back some day when the ladies are having a run.
This was a heat, but it had some pace tho.
