Fight with my Savage

[bradtx]

Hi All, Anyone else ever had a hard time reassembling a rifle for no apparent cause? If I had hooves for hands I couldn't have done worse..90 minutes, or there abouts overall.

This and my '41 Maltby have the early barrel bands that require a C clamp to assemble, but that wasn't the issue, it was all me.

Rant over.

Brad, maybe just a little shakey from your pre-4th of July celebrations? I know how you Texicans, like to do everything BIG!

Simple speed up fix........................

Two fisted Lone Star beer drinkers always have this problem, try putting at least one Lone Star beer can down when working on a Enfield Rifle.

Yuengling beer on the other hand has no such restrictions.
(We are more civilized and only drink from large chilled mugs)



Be careful bradtx about excess head space.

If Brad frequents this locale, than he is obviously of a higher class (of drinker). I would assume that he was more than likely sporting a Shiner Bock...and tripping over the other 5 bottles.

[bradtx]

Dead on, finlog! I must also admit to a great fondness for Red Stripe.

I'm going to pick up all three of the Yuenglings when I next run into Houston, Ed. Range report to follow.

It seems in Pennsylania,USA that it is hard to just buy one or two beers at a time. We found that they want you to buy it by the case lots.

What's the "logic" behind that?

(All this was discovered during a road trip to a Forks of the Delaware gunshow in Allentown some time back. We had never heard of Yuengling before and wanted to sample a bit- not get blotto!)


Bradtx, you are not alone! Sometimes things just refuse to cooperate, like trying to type this post- you can't imagine the drammas I'm having with the 'rgj a'erba' AIEEEEE!!!- never mind....

[bradtx]

jmoore, Since now-a-days for me a six pack will last over a week, often over two weeks, a case is out of the question. If I break either of my index fingers I'll be computer mute.

I've been wanting a beer for three months now. Just one...not even a big one...Oh, well!

[finloq]

Well, c'mon over J. I've got a mini-keg of Heineken in the kegerator.

It's not so much that I don't have any (I don't), but that federal regulations prohibit consumption less than 8hrs before work- w/12hr days and 7 day work weeks, I just haven't been able to squeeze it in! I mean, who wants to rush the eaxperience?

Really, probably have only had the longing for a month and a half or so, it just feels like a LONG time!

ETA:I'm stiil curious about Pa.'s beer sales philosophy.

Oh, and the Allentown Farmer's Market is not to be missed if you're in the area!

Bradtx, with what aspects of re-assembly were you having dramas? Fumble-y fingers or improper assembly order, or what? My usual failure w/ L-E rifles is forgetting the spring and plunger on SMLE fore ends until just before installing the nose cap. (Which, of course, is about the LAST part to go back onto the rifle...)
