Gun Dodgy fixes.

[MalleeFarmer]

What is the dodgiest fix you've seen?
Here's an M8 hex bolt and 4 Spring washers As spacers instead of the usual action screws. After I cleaned the T3 up the owner told his mate about it and I've picked up another job. I've ordered new action screws for it. I'm gonna have to start a business cleaning and fixing minor issues on guns. I didn't realise how much farmers care for their guns! Of not. Though not all of us as mine are all in pretty good nick.

It's an ingenious recoil damper, don't you know nuffink....

[MalleeFarmer]

Yea

Its a quick-adjust black tactical stock restraint with optional helical precision gyroscopic stabilising system..... Its what all the sniper types are using

I believe you just sold an M8 hex bolt with 4. Spring washers to a tacticool 22yo gun owner for $150.

I have seen a slug gun that was duct tapped into the stock with no screws.

Slug Gun as in a rifled 12g?

[<<Genesis93>>]

years ago the old man lent one of his shotties to a 'mate' who somehow.....someway, snapped the lug off the underside of the barrels(holding fore-end)....

Shottie comes home with araldite repair..

Perhaps no one instructed him on how to use the gun to shoot the ducks ....

Sometimes you need Bondo and JB Weld, or a bigger hammer

My grandfather used to carry a short flat head screwdriver in his pocket whenever he was out with the 12g. You need something to extract the shells, after all

Son! that danged extractor gone again, wheres mi screw tool?


....there was a day, not so long ago when we could carry a pocket knife in our.... pocket.... there was alway one blade that would fix whatever needed fixin. Thems days be gone....

[sandgroperbill]

I used to carry a pocket knife on my belt at school, as did a lot of the boys from farming families.
Back then, knives were still considered tools. Nowadays they represent a threat to all human civilisation.
Seriously, could you imagine if a boy rocked up to school with a pocket knife on his belt these days? They would lock down the school, call the press, call the police (most likely in that order) and launch a manhunt.
But I digress...

[Stubbles McBeard]

And no not a rifled shotgun just an air rifle one of my mates had when we were teenagers, you'd be pretty game shooting 12ga slugs with the action held in with tape, really think you'd need zip ties for that lol!

I learned to shoot with an old air rifle held into the stock with zippies and a couple wraps of electrical tape. Could damn near see the pellet fall out of the end.

A couple of times I carried a pocket knife in my pocket (most unlikely spot to look for one) and because I wasn't dumb enough to let it fall out no one ever found out.

Came in handy opening a lock once, and chocolate milks where there was no sharp plastic straw.

I use a mouse pad for a recoil pad on one of my shotties

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA) they actually have a law that possession of a knife in public is a minimum 90 days in jail. Yet you can carry a gun, of course

Doesn't seem to be enforced much, people carry knives obviously with the clip sticking out of their pockets.

[Title_II]

It's a dodgy epidemic

[MalleeFarmer]

Mouse pad as a recoil pad! Awesome idea the old winny 1300 with the nice solid plastic butt protector would do well to have a mouse pad recoil pad. After 40 odd shots the shoulder starts to hurt.

Bedded, free floating barrel, custom chassis, bet it shoots like a laser

[Seik]

And no not a rifled shotgun

I didn't realise there was such a thing.

Why the hell wouldn't you just use a rifle instead of get a gun that only fires slugs

[<<Genesis93>>]

You coult take an inadvertently out of focus picture, add a few more tactical descriptions;

Skeletonised tactical stock
pistol grip
tactical bipod
picatinny rail

..... and it would sell in 2 minutes flat on abused guns

[wayward]

It's be fun to fire once but I'm siding with Seik on this one

Cooked up by some shotgun fanboy who couldn't admit a rifle would be better

Some States or counties here in the US only allow the use of shotguns for deer hunting. So industry developed the rifled shotgun barrel.
