the all aussie dribble thread!

[ozflea]

Had a busy day yesterday entertained to Swedish saw collectors who called in to home for a cuppa and a yarn and a bit of saw talk







Nice to hear and talk about something besides the Aussie scene Bertil travel's worldwide so I felt a bit special getting the chance to meet and greet and Window washer as hard as I tried they wouldn't mow my grass .................. and the sad bit was they liked Huskie's so I hid mine before they arrived.

Bloody great Aussie safes, all the coppers buy them to keep there block in. shame tho ..they may have to stop making them due to the flood of cheap Chinese safes, which peeps seem to want to buy instead just to save a buck, plus Aussie supplies of steel are drying up quick and being replaced by inferior Chinese steel .

 

[ozflea]

Well just put ya cheapo chinese guns in them then

Well, here yah go... you can even make out the safety rakers in the chain



PITTSBURGH (AP) — A tree trimmer is recovering after he was rushed to a Pittsburgh hospital with a chain saw blade embedded in his neck.

James Valentine was in a tree in Ross Township on Monday afternoon when he was struck in the neck by the saw. Another worker helped him down, and his co-workers left the saw in place to try to limit the bleeding.

Valentine had emergency surgery at Allegheny General Hospital. Doctors say the saw missed major arteries and instead cut into muscle. The hospital Tuesday released an X-ray showing the saw still in the 21-year-old's neck.

Valentine works for Adler Tree Service in Gibsonia. Owner Dominic Migliozzi calls the rescue "amazing."

Broken chain too one lucky mofo

if a bullet spends .002 seconds in the barrel during each shot, and you get 3000 rounds of accurate barrel life, how much actual firing time does the barrel deliver before it loses accuracy? That’s simple math: 3000 x .002 seconds = 6 seconds. www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/facts-about-barrel-life/

I think they used a chain breaker to break the chain to remove the saw body before the x-ray was taken. Another reason to have an inboard clutch! Maybe add a Kevlar collar to the PPE list as well...

You sound like a benchrest shooter They throw the barrel out when it starts shooting worse than 1/4 MOA.
What calibre mate? Even my hot as hell .25/06 rounds still group pretty well after 2,500 rounds. My .22/250 40° Ackley still shoots 1/2 MOA after 1200 odd rounds. I've heard of benchrest shooters binning 6.5mm/.284 barrels after 1000 rounds but that's a pretty overbore cartridge and if they can't win a world title with it they chuck it away. Some of the big belted magnums are bloody hard on barrels. There is actually a barrel life calculator on one of the websites that is very interesting. It's apparently quite accurate too and relatively well proven. If you tick the "moly coated" box your barrel life goes up substantially and if it is true then it is well worth the extra expense of running moly coated projectiles.

There is also minute of angle and then there is minute of animal

Heard a classic tale the other week out the SARA range where one of the older guys is actually a full time pro shooter - great guy, has been around a long time, and is really interesting to talk to. He was up in the Flinders Ranges doing a goat cull a few years ago and a heap of floggers from Adelaide went up too. One of them was a very high profile benchrest shooter. Anyway this pro shooter reckons he was an absolute joke as he was gut shooting goats because he couldn't shoot for sh*t without resting on a bench then bouncing rounds off the rocks everywhere as he tried to finish them off. Most people would have assumed this guy could shoot the balls off a fly at 200m after reading some of his articles in some prominent gun magazines but alas. The guy at the gun range heard this bloke was coming and was really looking forward to shooting with him. Turns out that off a range he was useless.
