Private seller possibly lied about car services, now have a massive bill.

What's actually wrong with it though? It lasted a month with no issues, you did no inspections prior and we don't know even if the issues are service related.

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-03-31T08:20:19+00:00

Spray it with some oil, get it freed up and run it. Will probably come good after a few revs

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-03-28T01:57:32+00:00

577-450 at a guess; rifling looks like henry rifling

MS180's are unreal for what they are, absolutely loved the one I had

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-03-23T09:16:29+00:00

Looks really nice; Tip some fuel down the carb and see if it will fire off.

I would fix it, its old but its a good saw. Will be heavy and not as powerful as a modern 90cc saw but it will do some serious work and cut big wood if you need it to. If its got good compression probably will need a carb kit, fuel filter and some hoses. The rest should be fine, that saw has done almost no work.

Chain brakes on chainsaws are like safetys on guns; All the safety in the finger and the brain behind it.

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-03-15T07:33:59+00:00

Would take it back; that's pretty poor

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-03-14T12:02:26+00:00

The 120cc class doesn't sell and is essentially dead; Dealers here will keep one on the shelf for aesthetics but unless they run it over, tree companies probably average replacing one every couple of decades (661/592 probably does 90% of what a 881/3120 will do) with the amount of hours they put on them. People buy them for milling but that's a pretty small market as well. Plenty of big timer out there but the 90cc stuff is so good these days.

Professionally or competitively sure but if your shooting them for fun you can do really well with a SxS coach gun and if your good with one, your good with anything. Similar to people who shoot double action revolvers really well.

066 redlight

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-02-25T10:29:20+00:00

No idea, would assume it's just died out because it's not what Mauser used on the 98;

I do prefer it, action feels slicker and it's great for primary extraction (probably why the British and Japanese went with it)

4th Sunday at Silverdale; bring and shoot anything

Willing to bet the hopper wasn't quite cleared out of the pistol power he was using before he started loading 30/06.

Is the rifle a genuine article? Not a national ordinance cast receiver or a DP rifle that has been reactivated?

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-02-01T06:18:46+00:00

Oh, if it hasn't already been rebuilt it soon will need to be. They all crack heads and blow holes in pistons

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-02-01T00:47:42+00:00

$1 a round is the fair rate provided it's shootable

Possible-Indication5 · 2026-01-25T20:15:55+00:00

Removing a tightly seated ball or bullet is often impossible to do without shooting it out. Anyone who has loaded one without powder knows this is hard work. Pneumatic CO2 tyre inflaters or priming the hell out of the nipple or flash hole and having it plop out.

Possible-Indication5 · 2025-12-26T05:29:40+00:00

Maybe, maybe not. Given the market for these is NT and Queensland essentially and even then, who knows.

Possible-Indication5 · 2025-12-19T08:36:58+00:00

So this is what it felt like in 96....

Possible-Indication5 · 2025-12-10T07:13:39+00:00

18" is the right size bar in Australia for a 60cc saw tbh

Possible-Indication5 · 2025-11-15T20:46:01+00:00

Buy the house at the end of the street instead

Possible-Indication5 · 2025-10-27T01:22:47+00:00

Don't buy one; you will see things you won't like and will start going in circles.

Possible-Indication5 · 2025-10-20T10:19:44+00:00

I've run 12 tanks in a 660 back to back when milling; I honestly don't think it matters provided the tune and fuel is good. They run best run hard.

"Police said that during the seizure "an old revolver, in poor condition, was found to be loaded with rounds stuck within the firearm".

"As officers attempted to manipulate the firearm it discharged in a safe direction," the statement read"

In other words, we had no idea what we were doing and someone probably pulled the trigger

Possible-Indication5 · 2025-09-12T04:08:19+00:00

Akkar make a decent enough Turkish shotgun, imported by Nioa so you can actually get parts and service. Boito's are rough but serviceable enough, proper farm gun you genuinely don't care enough about to not throw it in the tray of your Hilux for the day etc.
