[Spartan359]

Well I don't know about everyone else but I've learned alot about my rifle from this thread. But I still have a couple of questions. I plink with my rifle and gets used on a regular basis. I've only had it for about two years now and have roughly shot about 10,000 rounds through it. Give or take a few thousand. Not one single problem with it. Nothing has broke. Everytime it gets fired it gets thoroughly cleaned that night. Because nothing has broken I haven't swapped out any parts. As for the ammo that I have fired, I think I have fired everything there is for it. I'm not to keen on using re-loads. When I do use re-loads I only use Australian re-loads. I've had some problems South African and South American re-loads. My questions are:

1. What things in particular should I look for if my rifle starts to fail me?
2. What are some of the causes for a barrel to blow?
3. How can I identify the stock rebedding itself and how do you go about fixing it?

Now that LR47 mentioned the stock rebedding itself I think mine has. The parts sit somewhat at and angle in the stock. While this has not caused any problems with the rifle functioning it just bothers the hell out me that it doesn't sit straight.
