Well I finally got closure on this… a full 3 1/2 years later. Been busy with work, numerous other projects, travel, and the occasional shoot. I found this higher-end gunsmith while on an unrelated Google search a couple weeks ago that had recently stood up only a few miles away from me. Pilot...

Tactical Tailor has those in stock.

For the record...

I put that handle together a few years ago while living in S.Africa. I was a "Yankee"(American) living in the land of the Zulu. I'm always extremely interested in any other history or legacy behind that NATO Phonetic combination, though. You're not the first to inquire. I've used it as a...

Wow, guys. Humbled by all the responses here. I'm really not the "mechanically curious type" when it comes to systems this precise. I've learned the hard way that Newton's Law definitely applies to tinkering at this level. This stock IS bedded, so I'm definitely not inclined to go MacGuyver on...

Will the receiver/barrel just lift out of the chassis w/ these 2 screws on the L and R removed or is there something else holding it on there?

Thanks. She's one of my favorite rifles, for obvious reasons. The action and the trigger are unbelievable. I contacted IBA a couple/few years ago when they were still up and running and spoke to the COL..., may he rest in peace. They were willing to repair it but I was only Stateside for a few...

Took a precision course a few years ago and at one point during the shoot, the instructor grabbed my rifle, said "you don't need this on there", took a pair of pliers to the rear swivel and snapped it off in what I'm guessing was an attempt to unscrew it. Needless to say I was PISSED but I kept...

Pulled my head out of my ass and remeasured. Definitely 1". I guess pinging Smith and seeing if he recognizes them couldn't hurt. Are they on this forum?

No idea. Hopefully not. :oops:

Hey all- Starting things off in here w/a question. Certainly won't be the last one, either. I got these scope rings w/my SR-25 years ago along w/a couple other bits and pieces the seller included and they've been lying around the work bench all this time... like 10 years. The only thing I know...

Went to register and saw that I already had an account. Looking forward to getting things started. Got an IBA 700, SR-25, 1903A-Faux, and a lot of questions. Good to be in here. - YZ
