Thread: Gun city quality firearms…. Yea na

That's a learning for me, I've not yet seen a M15x1 can first hand. Just about every other thread known to man that fits on a barrel haha.

Good on ya for stepping up and noting the error though - bloody refreshing and I don't really care who the outfit was. All too often these things get deflected denied or disowned in my experience these days, so well done there!

Tikka dabbled with it on some of their threaded T3Xs for a while, predominantly in 300WM, 7mmRem and 6.5Cr.
Not quite as frustrating as Browning with their M13x1.25 thread on some hells canyon models...

It would be good if they standardised the threads I run 14x1 on all but the 22s

That a bit like asking people to stick to a few standard cartridges, It may make sense but people love to experiment.

15x1 is one of the standard muzzle threads on Blasers

My Mauser M18 is 15x1 as well

Not to sure who is the bigger idiot here, the guy the sold the wrong suppressor or the guy who bought the rifle package and went and fired it without checking everything out first. The M15x1 suppressor would of just slipped straight over the M14x1 thread and not pulled up tight at all..

Not trying to excuse the mistake but M15 to M14 is surprisingly odd in that if you don't catch it as you screw it up it will butt up tight and sit there pretty convincingly.

All businesses make mistakes. It is what they do next that really matters!

When at fault, it's the putting right that counts

Who is old enough to remember the L V Martin ads on the b&w telly - " its the putting right that counts"

Most on here

Ha my mum worked there for a bit when I was a teen. The people were great, it wasn't just hot air. They knew their shit, repaired stuff - not like the crowds we have today. I used to buy stuff off LVs, they were good for a bit after Smiths City brought them until all the old LV staff eventually left. They even modded a Sony Trinitron TV I imported from Aussie with an earphone plug because they weren't available in NZ yet. The LV guys did it for free as they were keen to have a nosey around an inside of the new trinitrons.

L V was a clever bugger, the shop at the bottom of the gorge was only there for public servants to splash out on something on the way home with their back pay after the PSA had negotiated their latest wage increase.

I've only ever had good experiences with GC personally. Just to provide some balance.
