georgiacowboy Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I am going on a high volume bird shoot in south america soon. Does anyone think I should get some spare parts in case I wear anything out? If so, which parts? And where do I ge them. The only thing I could find on the website was bolt handles. Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike100 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I would consider taking an entire gun rather than just spare parts. You need at least two guns (but, I’m certain you already know this). Spare parts won’t help much while you are in the blind and shooting. If you have a stoppage in the “thick of battle,” you need a replacement gun since there is no time for a field repair. The one exception is a bolt handle (which is easily lost, and easily replaced). How many guns are you planning to take with you? --Spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike is right, take two guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hognutz Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Don't forget to take some tape for your thumb. It will be raw, in short order, from reloading the gun. Trust me..Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMAC Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Is there a chance you can shoot there guns, reason I ask is why burn up your own stuff if you can rent someone elses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike100 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 ^^ Good point... You can rent a gun (autoloader or O/U) for $50-$75) per day. It’s wise checking with the host/outfitter when transporting firearms to foreign countries. If I remember correctly, it’s very simple to bring a firearm into Argentina. You fill out one form and pay an entry/permit fee that is > $100 per gun. --Spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
