    Parker Hale M82/84/85/87 and C3/C3A1

    I've got an original Australian Army sniping pamphlet for the M82 era, containing the specs, CES contents, training course syllabus etc. Am away from home for the next few days, but when i return will copy the pages pertaining to the rear sight for you.

    Historical most lop-sided casualty-ratio battles(preferably w/ the underdog winning)

    Vested mineral interests are a very powerful motivator, belgian or not ;)

    Historical most lop-sided casualty-ratio battles(preferably w/ the underdog winning)

    Battle of Long Tan in 1966, probably not the most outrageous ratio, but still an incredible modern example of being inordinately outnumbered & somehow coming away victorious.

    Winchester M70

    .870" is quite the truck axle ;) Try as I might, I've never found any definitive info/drawings for the Winchester clipslot. There was some conjecture that the machining details for the WinM70 were the same for the Remington700/M40, however i dont remember whether this was found to be true or...

    Winchester M70

    Once an action undegoes truing, it becomes pretty obligatory that any new barrel belonging to that action is threaded/fitted to match the new oversized dimensions. Therefore its is highly unlikely (read, wont*) any nominal prefit barrell will ever fit that trued action, acceptably again. So...

    Winchester M70

    i hadnt realised the different bolt shroud/ safety assembly types, would interchange so readily. Had just assumed because movement direction of the safety was opposite between the type 1's & later, that they wouldnt. but goodwork on finding that out, its handy to know. Is it glass bedded, as...

    Winchester M70

    Am sure it won't bother you, but most of the USMC model 70's had the early "butterfly" style safety & the stocks were generally unchequered. Goodluck with the project & please keep us updated.

    I want one in the worst way...

    You're probably aware, but there's a "Gil Boyd" on Milsurps.com who's able to check factory production records, through a former PH head armourer. Their records aren't 100% complete (due to the way PH, was taken apart :( ), but often for a given serial number they can sometimes find out...

    Gunsmithing Lathe advice!

    My lathe (a Colchester Mascot 1600) is dimensionally very big, meaning the length through the headstock was going to be bit of an issue on most std length barrels & i wasn't overly keen on the idea of spiders/catsheads fixtures etc & the potential for slippage etc, so built this instead: My...

    Enfield No4 Mk 1 (T) Sniper, now for sale

    Hi Rick, am sure you have considered this, but being based on a No4Mk1 action (with its trigger hinged off the bottom metal) I would address any bedding/fettling as a matter of first priority, because some modifications of the wood/metal fit through the action area, i.e shimming (particularly...

    Enfield No4 Mk 1 (T) Sniper, now for sale

    Well done Rick, looks to be an awesome project. Hope it groups really well for you without having to touch the bedding, if you get stuck I might be able to assist with a bit of acquired knowledge. I undertook an L42 repro a few years back & your post, might have me encouraged to do a No4(T) as...
