I want the browning medallion Lever action in .308 to match my Browning medallion bolt action lol

 

I suppose it's good at an entry level. I'm kinda just hoping it lasts a trip or two, the axle is solid far as I can tell. Just some scale, but no leaks or evidence of bends.

 

I’ve got nagants for bolt actions.


Oh and my all time favorite. My 1955 Winchester model 70 in .270. Gramps old hunting gun is a tac driver

 

My marlin co lever action is pretty fun to shoot

 

Welding is easy, it's basically metal glue, except you can charge incapable people a lot for what's essentially a glorified art project. I never mind welding, it's cutting that's annoying.

 

Ill give you 2.50 for it after you blow up the 3rd member

 

It won't be the third that explodes it'll be the axle shaft or tube end that bends and wrecks the bearing and seal

 

Considering the hit my tundra took, I replaced the axle shaft.




Only to check it after the fact and find out it was perfectly straight.... I do believe they’re stronger than you give them credit. It hit hard enough to shatter the bearing race, but the axles true.

 

This before or after you weld the 3rd

 

I’ve ever minded the little bit of welding I’ve done, it was only stick though, need to have someone should how to run mig or whatever.

 

A full-time locked axle is a liability in the dirt. No welding gears for me, but I won't waste money putting an ARB in this thing. Maybe a little lunchbox locker or something, since they're cheap

 

I need to start practicing welding again before all the turns to rust

 

Just find a junkyard LSD third. Dirt cheap

 

@Wulf would say otherwise.
But i have no experience in the matter. But why not something like a Detroit?

 

I have never seen a Toyota LSD third show up anywhere. My guess would be they end up in the pre pick yard and the price would be more than this housing with open third was.

 

Detroit still requires resetting lash and such. Not worth the effort or money on an 8.4. I can put a lunchbox locker in without taking the gears apart and if it blows up it's an easy fix. But most of them slip and ratchet making it less likely to just up and explode despite the size. It's all temporary for this thing. A Detroit is an expensive piece that is honestly kinda lame, part time selectable lockers are the way to go, like the Eaton, Harrop, ARB, ZipLocker. I'll do one of those when I can do a centered 80 series diff

 

my spare LSD diff was from the local LKQ for a whole 45 bucks.

 

Hmm I'll try LKQ for shits and giggles they're right next door to my work and the lady at the counter gives us employee pricing.

 

Sounds like alot of work to pull the axle tubes off a 80 center and burn new ones on.
be pretty cool to see happen though

 

Nvm scratch that. You cant pull the tubes off a toyota axle like you can a dana or something.

how does centering a toyota axle work?
