Ya there Matt
Can you tell what a saw is , as in Model . like an 064 044 what ever by the serial number stamped on the case near the bolt hole for the dog mounts
the number is 134543484
on the piston RO 21 AND 52176
On the barrel +++++ STIHL 1122 MAHLE 52ZN19 W2 5C
that saw has no model badges on it I bought it as a spare parts saw for my 064 but its in realy good shape
the bottom end is sound the barrel is realy looking good but has a stripped plug thread
the piston if its original has the scores on the exhaust port side
my other question is do you have piston rings barrel to sell me
Ive other parts to orded for my 044 like mains bearings and seals and crank case gasket barrel base gasket and a full set of AV rubbers

Also Im in need od a full set of top plastic for a 038 super av you know all the red stuff plus and air filter cartridge
My friend droppes a tree to close to it ay
thanks Mate yeah

Best to PM Bennn*e on anything Stihl related. He's like the Rain Man of Stihl :D
 
Anyway gents haven't been doing much in the way of chainsaws lately but have been doing way more shooting which is right up there on my enjoyment list.
Amongst my various firearms I have two .25/06's. One is a Tikka T3 stainless varmint that I've had for around 8 years at a guess and the other is a Remington 700BDL-DM (detachable mag) that is running a South Australian made Sprinter stainless sporter weight barrel. I bought this brand new in about 1997 and a DM model arrived which apparently weren't even in the catalogue at the time - it was sent incorrectly but I took it anyway. The T3 has always been a pretty accurate rig but funnily enough the best groups I've seen out of any of my rifles is from the Remington. It has actually recorded a couple of 1/2" groups at 200m with a well known benchrest shooter behind the trigger (Brendan Atkinson).
Anyway I bought the T3 after the old Remmy's accuracy went off the boil and I assumed I'd burnt another barrel out. I'd also galled a lug on the bolt from a few extra hot rounds where I had some AR2214 stick in my powder thrower and accidentally threw a few overloads. When I say overloads I mean it forced the base of the case into the ejector hole on the front of the bolt - therefore that hot that the case wasn't far off rupturing.
Therefore the old 700 has sat unused in the cupboard for 8 years after the T3 came along.
Anyway I've recently been asked to drill a heap of roos and emus under permit for a couple of farmers I know. The minimum legal calibre for emus is .243 Winchester and because I've been smacking most of them on the run the T3 has been getting a workout. I've had the barrel too hot to touch on a couple of occasions which certainly isn't too healthy for it and new barrels aren't cheap.
So I decided to whip the old Remington out the cupboard, sight her in, and abuse her instead of the Tikka. Well wasn't I surprised!!! The groups below were shot at a lasered 100m and the texta dots are around an inch. The group high right of the centre dot is actually 3 shots and they are nearly all touching. These were the first 3 shots this thing had fired for 8 years. I'm not sure what drugs I was on when I thought it couldn't shoot tight groups anymore. There are 4 separate groups on the side of this old fridge. These were hand loads running 100gn Ballistic Tips, 58 grains of AR2213SC, and Federal 210M match primers. The cases are nickel plated Remingtons which are actually crap cases. The Winchester standard brass cases are way better.
For those that aren't familiar with the .25/06 it is one of the flatter shooting rounds you can buy and I've been smacking a few roos and emus over at ranges of around 450m. I think the longest roo I've dropped was at a lasered 680m. Once you know the velocity, the Ballistic coefficient of the projectile, and the range you can download a ballistics app onto your phone, plug the numbers in, and it will tell you the drop at a given range. Not foolproof but pretty bloody close to the mark and wind is what can wreck the party.
Sorry for the waffle but I know there are a few shooters here who may appreciate this sort of waffle :D

yep matt ya right me and the young bloke have been using burger 115 VLD hunting pills and a case full of AR 2217 it's loud it puffs flame but at 3150fps
and so far 5 loads and only neck sizing and still no resistance on the bolt handle and sub .5moa for 3 we are very happy.
and they hit like a freight train.:)

that 243 min on bushchooks makes me laugh :confused:

just be careful about range on roos we have a max distance on them in vic so don't i say how far no more :rolleyes:

on another note i dressed up me 1517 DHB with a new knob and bottom metal it came up nice

and had to resight it in and then drop a few bunnies

IMG_0585 (Small).JPG

the breeze got the second shot or it would have been the best group so far this was at 100y

and some of the victims

It's been a while since I've been on here! On some sort of chainsaw related news my self and partner got engaged last night after nearly 9 years and nearly 40 odd chainsaws and other bits and pieces. The ring is a .325 small spline with Stihl .325 26RMC :)

Nice shooting Matt,remember you mentioned drugs not me!!!!! .Dosent suprise me with the 700 shooting like that.I no they have had there critics lately,and maybe the newer ones have gone off the boil.Ive had mine since the mid 80s in .243 and if im good enough on the day it will shoot the groups your talking about all day long.Off the top of my head i can count around twenty other 700BDLs from the same era in various calibres that all shoot great and have never had a problem.There was one that shot like crap after a very rough floating and bedding job. The other centrefire i had that would stay with it was a Tikka M55 in .22/250.Actually come to think of it the only rifle in any calibre that i didnt like was a Sako .222, mainly the factory trigger gave me the craps.
Shows how long i have been out of it,just found out Pecar shut down around 08!!
 
My mate

My mate just sold his rem700 bedded floated re crowned ect and it still wouldn't shoot. Pos
 
must be the later ones ,I got the VSSF in 223 and its been awesome out of the box,shot thousands of rounds still like the day I bought it home,both my brothers bought the same but the later version VSSF2 and they both had to have work done just to match mine,i remember something about REM changing their tooling and from what I saw on those two VSSF2s they went backwards

Yeah its a shame mate,they dont seem to be as they were.
I had a mate who was pro roo shooting in the late 70s and he had a 700 on its fourth barrel and wouldnt part with it.I was told recently that some of the assembly etc is now done in Mexico,not sure if that is true.
Cheers Dave
