    Without seeing the action it is hard to determine the cause of the safety 'ear' failure but it would be reasonably safe to assume the gun was OK with normal proof loads (30% above normal pressure),...

    He called it a freak accident but I think he was playing Russian Roulette with his supply of dodgy ammo. Also the manufacturer's claim that the piece was good for 85,000 psi seemed a bit light but...

    Yeah I think mine would be similar on a rough ride. Generally where I’m using it the ride out is downhill so the batteries not needed much at all

    Nothing wrong with a "screw in lid" as millions of AR's in various sizes are evidence that a screw on barrel extension just plain works. There are many other examples of this approach and if one was...

    I reckon the round was oiled inadvertently or charged with the wrong powder. There are thousands of screw breach artillery peices out there that worked just fine.

    That’s part of the vernier scale that you use to see how many minutes of elevation you have on. Nobody really used the far right hand scale
