The British Army new rifle selection process is still ongoing. Two phases, Hunter and Grayburn. Project Hunter selected the L403A1 (KS-1), a Knights Armament Corporation rifle, for special forces and Royal Marines. Project Grayburn has not completed yet. The two main contenders appear to be...

Good oil and plenty of it.

Yes. I think it is a left hand thread, i.e. clockwise to loosen. https://www.echo-usa.com/getattachment/ad356e9a-05b2-4b60-bb08-ab23454d06e9/filev1_

A good table might turn up, if you are patient.

Would silicone spray lubricant work?

I've not used mine for a while, but I probably have the same problem. The link that I used to download the software stopped working.

I had a look at a few over here. They are cheaper - until you add on postage and import duty. You might be better off making your own. Then you can size and fit the handle to your own hand. Will be cheaper than buying one...

Me too!

Would the sledge eye tolerate use as a hammer/wedge banger better? Looking at them, neither seems thin or weak around the eye. The sledge eye should be a bit easier to re-haft in future. Without handling them it is hard to know how they balance, but the sledge eye looks to have a lot of mass...

I got a Snap-on compression gauge in great condition for £30 / $40. It came with a spare special schrader valve:

Thanks. I had missed that second part number. I found an Echo tool manual online that references it. The size is given as M10 x 1.0 which is the same size as the Stihl and Husqvarna ones. I'm guessing that the 7310 might take that one and the 91155 might be smaller, and fit the smaller saws...

I can't find the thread size online, but I found two sources for OEM compression valve plugs. These should fit the 4910, at least. Have you checked if they are the same diameter on all three saws? It will be fairly easy to unscrew them and measure them, if you have calipers and a screw pitch...

That's the tolerance - how much above or below the nominal value is acceptable. I would set your torque wrench to the nominal value and it will be good. Unless it is really inaccurate. To be certain you could have your torque wrench calibrated...

The parts list calls it a cap. It doesn't seem to serve much purpose.
