Yup, a series 2 (not even 2a) Land Rover.
* the gear between the halfshaft and the rear axles disintegrated. Even the mechanics commented on the noise as that entered the workshop :)

Transfer case idler, right ?
Yeah they beefed the shaft they ran on up in 2a and later.

It's the Fiskars 24" x 36" version; $20 @ Wally World. These are nice in that the flip side has the same exact graph and scales printed on it, only the dark grey and light grey are inverted. I caught mine on "we fucked up the inventory sale" for $8.00 last summer; somebody mixed it up in the online inventory with the SKU for the 12" x 18" version. When I was actually able to get mine for that price, I bought the other three they had; traded one to a friend for a $45 flight controller and ESCs and family claimed the other two.
A word of warning... just like the green ones, these things STINK. They reek of polymer and sulphur forever unless you lay them outside in the sun for a week (not exaggerating in the least bit here) before you bring them inside. Don't forget to flip it over sometime around Wednesday so the other side can pass outgas, BTW. |O Seriously; the only thing I ever had on my bench that smelled worse was a 3D printer fire. :scared:

Seems too nice to put holes in. :(
Done my checks, POI 12-14" down @ 300 yds and just where it should be.
We might get some looooong shots tomorrow so need to on my game.
Bambi...yum !

I imagined you wanting to do a full tear-down but not wanting your precious porta-cannon from getting scarred up on your bench, so therefore the desire for a cutting mat. :palm:
Yes; you put bullet-holes in MY mat, it's gonna shoot back. I'll make double-damned sure of it. ;)

You have to define "scope" in this context. By one reasonable definition you can put scopes in the back before a journey - but you may only get fewer out at the other end of the journey.

Maybe it was the reincarnation of the brown one I had when I lived alongside Hackney Downs. Got stolen twice. The second time, we went to the really disreputable area where it had been found, sans many parts, took one look and got out of there ASAP. Called the insurance and told them to go get it - if they dared.

What area would be then?
--- End quote ---
I don't recall exactly - never had any need to go back, but SE of Clapton, some kind of broken down lockup under a railway.

Some precision, some POS.
At the end of the day what makes them any good or not is the nut behind the wheel. ;)
