Holds more chip in the kerf. I learned it in the states, it makes a noticable difference on softwood.
-
If you carefully take off the topwood behind the rear sight and post pictures of the stampings on the barrel and Knox form I might be able to tell you quite a bit. Emphasis on the carefully.
-
Sure. Its the same in Norway,the French and the Norwegians both used "captured" arms post WW2 so that Rifle could have been secreted there by anyone for any number of reasons.Although since it retains its bolt I would guess that who ever put it there intended to use it at a later date. Give the left hand side of the receiver ring and the action a good scrub.Might find some interesting markings. I but the Stock and some ammo are not too far away either.

Scrape the rust off with a peice of copper or alloy and a squirt of WD40.
-
If you wirebrush the top of the receiver ring where the arrow points. You will find the makers code and year of manufacture. That Rifle has been taken out of its stock and hidden, otherwise the barrel band and receiver crossbolt woukd still be present. Cool find!

The owner of this house was told be every passing Tree Surgeon to remove this big goosed Beech. Then it fell on her house and there she was on the front page telling the world it was only because of the storm it fell. Insurance paid out

No its a real thing. Gives me a huge advantage as the rabbits cannot hear the bullet coming and jump out of the way.

I use silent gunpowder.
-
Find somewhere deep and chuck the rounds in. The powder might/ might not be ,wet thus inert untill dried out. Burning loose gunpowder is pretty unexciting anyhow. Clean up the magazine lips ( the rusty bit) and sell the magazine. Not worth involving the rozzers imho.

I had a lad tell me the same. He went on to say that most days in the Marines you were off home again at 1.
-
Royal Marines? One Guy passed at 50 and even a bird has too.

Sign of the times I am afraid mate. Bet he could sort any issues with your smart phone faster than you could drill those holes with a bit and brace.

In an effort to punt his book he is coming over like a twat. If only he had pulled 25 dried ears on a peice of string out of a ammo pouch during his interveiw... Anyhow, I read he flew 6 combat missions? Which if true makes him a dab hand with the weaponry on that Helicopter. But also begs the question of why train him up if he was used so little.
-
The real tradgedy here isn't the 25 Taliban he killed, its that he only killed 25 Taliban. He was the gunner on an Apache Helicopter ffs, he should have tried a bit harder frankly.

Mine is on the linkage like the one pictured. Feeding the chipper can be a bit of a pain with short bits, but you will learn to put them aside or piggyback them into the hopper with a long bit. I was looking at putting the crane on a jake plate to bring the weight closer to the rear axel but never got around to buying one.I have my forestry winch on the front end loader to balance the weight of the chipper.
-
I have pretty much the same combination of Crane and Chipper. I run it behind a Valtra N-101. I build it into my own jobs at £1000 per day. Depending on the species being chipped the ch260 will do all right. How much were you looking to spend on one?
-
How can you effectively advertise your business?
Mike Hill replied to CharonWest's topic in Business Management
You are an absolute chopper. Often £1200 won't even cover the cost of the crane, or the big chipper or even what I charge for 3 guys. However if my £5000 bill was less than what the other guy wanted for the same job and we were in and out in6 hours saving you £2k, would you still be moaning?- 34 replies

Who is Mr Silky and where did he go?
-
Fablulous!
-
Not the Poofs and Darkies? So have I been wrong all along?
-
Ambulances risk never turning up if no one wants to drive them because of an un realistically low wage mate. Or would you rather you were tended to by a binman? You know, one of those low skilled jobs that deserve a pay rise.
-
£50k is not much tbh. If my decisions were a matter of life and death for which I was potentially liable for another person I would want three times that. Unskilled is exactly that.
