    Awesome man,
    I'll give the goose a 2nd chance.
    I had such disgust in what I cooked I vowed never to shoot another.
    Mine was not pink so I'm guessing I got old ones.

    No worry with the bowels mate I've been in east Africa for a long time.
    Bum wees is just a part of life LOL

    all parts soaked for 30mins in petrol thinners mix then given thorough blowdry with compressed air ,put coupla drips of oi lin essential places and put her back in one piece.
    then get a call from a cobber back in nz from over the ditch.his FAL is due so has the local AO workinhis ring off sortinit out before he heads back.wanted me as security referee ,so iokd it.Ao's apprently visiting to view my setup .that got a complete revamp &triple check as well before the visitors arrive. still nice fat canada breasts for tea and have just taken delivery of 30odd pigeons so "organic meat" wise im pretty flush.
    yes gents an update to that wee quote.in fact the piston on the escort had a massive crack 3/4 of the way around
    the end that butts against the bolt carrier is surrounded by a hefty spring locked with a screw on collar. when this piston was machined and the collar thread cut i can only assume the metal left was slightly thin and with a multitude of hefty thumps as the old girl fired it finally stress fractured , resulting in an angled end which bound on the mag tube.
    With spares in my cupboard ,simple to bang a new 2nd hand piston on .also broke the rubber ring,so a quick hunt in my plumbing supplies finds another "O"ring.
    bugger me -we're up &away again.fixed for SFA,no gunsmith bills and money for ales!

    They are a base level gun that is a copy of an already cheap gun using cheap parts. Are you taking the piss?

    Not taking the piss at all,mate. Shot the shit out of mine. Home load slugs, buck 00 and ring the gong at 100 metres more often than not with round ball and Lee 1 oz. Even shot clays. I realise that it's a copy and all that ( jeez, I even run a Great Wall 4x4) but if it's dangerous in your experience, I need to know. Shit, I'll bury the bastard tomorrow!
