    No rocket science to polishing/improving JWs.. Main thing is to check action for burrs - remove any on bolt and inside receiver. Then get dremel and smooth out machine marks on bottom of bolt as...

    Yep ... in that price category the bolt Marlins really are excellent wee hunters - shoot well and all I've benched were easily sub 0.5" at 50m. Models 925 and 980 good. A little Jw15 chopped to 16"...

    We've chopped, recrowned and polished action on about 20 JW15s and I really do rate them as worker 22s - as good as you'll get for the truck/quad. Almost all dropping under 0.5" at best at 50m after...

    I use cold blue product - have done couple of dozen rifles with it and it usually comes up well. Did a 70s Toz recently and metalwork looked surprisingly good. From experience there are definite...

    Yes trimming barrel is easy. Pop it into vice, measure 16" from receiver (or the length you want), cut off with hacksaw, tidy end with grinder or file/wet and dry etc, then put appropriate size round...

    A while back I fine sanded a 22 barrel and used autosol polish to finish it and give it a stainless look. Looked good. Otherwise I get good results with cold blue - but I do it my way..

    Correct me if wrong but I seem to remember in the late 60s and poss early 70s we did not need a firearms licence at all - just a Permit to Procure a firearm. Went to the copshop, got your permit,...

    My hunter truck is a 312ks 96 Bighorn with 32 muds, tune etc - can do 9.7L/100 on trip (29.1mpg) but more commonly just over 10L. Much much better than my 1kz 3.0 Prado - that was a shocker on...

    Good to know. From umpteen hundred 4wd club trips - Coast to Coast etc - varying tyre pressures crucial to widen traction footprint but also for comfort. We do it all the time. Same (albeit to a...
