that rattle I sure can relate to. get most well used pump actions out of thier owners hands and you will hear it too. the old lee enfield .303 was such a reliable military action for just those same reasons, shes not fussy at all and will function in conditions that make a tight action like a mauser cring and go running home to mammy. Ive heard first hand of guys trying to blow one up for demonstration purposes in the end they had to thread the barrel and tighten a bolt in the end of it before they could split it open. some of the things done to those old warhorses is amazing but they are still out there doing the biz there are still a few kiwi hunters who use nothing else and most of us started out with 1 or 3 of them.

Stovie, did you make it out to the range this weekend? Just curious to what you found out.

Nope- fiddling with little stuff on the truck. Pas/power door lock too a dump. Checked fer power and ground...cachunk! Solenoid works, think the switch has an open in it.
Then I did some detail work in the bed, anchor points, yadayada...
Range night this Wednesday, if all goes well...keep a posted after the newly trimmed loads get digested. pop-pop! I like shootin this pistol...I really need a Glock fer a range mule though cuz nuttins tuffer and they's accurate...
She's gettin' old and I wanna keep her as is...a mostly orriginal Colt tactical nightfighter that still drills holes where ya point it...I love this gun!
