    An '03 with a 25rd Magazine???

    These were developed during WW1 to increase firepower and gain an advantage in trench warfare.....trouble is the Germans had them for the 98 first! Worth doing some research...got a feeling 1903 originals are pretty rare? As far as I can find out the Springfield ones were not detatchable...

    Australian HT Sniper Rifle

    No worries... Must say I'm also intrigued by MJ1's 7.62 No.5 lookalike....nearest thing in 7.62 I've ever seen would be L39,L42 or the Envoy/Enforcers...but never anything with the No.5 type stock. You are right that the L8 series rifles (A1,A2,A3,A4 and A5 spec) were all full stocked as...

    Australian HT Sniper Rifle

    BL400 - I'm going to stick my neck out and say that that is a PPC (Periscopic Prism Co.) scope based on the mount. It is not disimilar to the Aldis but is a tad longer (note that it extends to just in front of the rear sight protector (whereas the Aldis stopped at the rear of the sight...

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    If the mount is soild, I'd not mess with it. Maybe it is something inside the scope? Maybe the other guys can give you some advice on guys in the US who are good with Russian scopes who may be able to check it out before you start removing/changing/adding anything?

    Crap crap crap ...

    I hate these threads!! WTF did you have to mention No5's for!! I'd managed to forget about them for a while! Now you've just got me looking for more rifles!! :D :D Seriously, if it's original and in good, shootable condition....grab it! You'll love it!

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    It's not mounted yet so can't really say but physically it seems pretty good, heavy. Only problem is the fit. Is it the mount that is the problem on your rifle or the scope that's not holding zero? Are you looking for the hex mount or a new side mount version? The hex mount is secured...

    Naked 58 year old Chinese, makeover

    LOL! Was expecting it to be more Chinese spam for cosmetics or enhancement surgery! Looks pretty good. Were there many dents/dings? Or did you steam them out first?

    USMC M1903 A1 / 1941 Sniper Rifle BUILD FINISHED!!

    I found mine from the same guy that provided the heavy checker butt plate. He is in the US but had no problems shipping to the UK so I can't see why he'd have a problem with Aus. I'll hunt down the details and PM you when I've found them

    H&K style sling hooks - why?

    I may be wide of the mark, but as far as I know the H&K style hooks predate the more current flush cups by a long way. So maybe we need to cut them some slack on that score? I agree that they are not as easy to hook up as the flush cups (they were a real PITA on the butt end of my AW if they...

    SH First Look - Battleline Industries SAPR

    Great pics.....looks like the wait will have been well worth it! Great work, Josh! Definitely in for two or three of these beauties! Hope Rainier have placed an order for plenty of stock...I think these will fly out, especially to those who've never really got along with the PRS

    Arisaka Type 99 "Cutback" Sniper

    There is/used to be a guy called vicasoto on Gunboards.com who you should try to contact...he used to be the go-to-guy over there on these rifles...... Maybe also try a post on milsurps.com? Good luck with it, it would be great to see the rifle with it's scope. Bear in mind that the...

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    MJ1, I am sure I could have done that as an alternative if I'd got stuck. To be honest, I was just relieved that there were no issues with the Accumount part (still to resolve the scope mount sizing) and to get a bolt head that would work! Now the bolt is done and headspaces I don't feel the...

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    Progress has been pretty slow since the last update...a combination of Paul's workload (seems like vintage rifles are a growing business here in the UK!) and business commitments from my side. Project is still on-going though!! ;) The Accumount bolt shroud is now fitted (no problems that...

    Looking good! Know what you mean about the numb shoulder....with the heavy checkered butt plate it'slike hitting yourself with a meat tenderiser!! Did you work out what was wrong with the windage adjustment?

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt bender PM 2 help

    Re: Schmidt bender PM 2 help Only "issues" I have are: 1) The failings of an education system that leaves someone unable to understand simple written English. 2) Someone accessing firearms without the competence to figure out the basics of the equipment they have. OP - invest in some training.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt bender PM 2 help

    Re: Schmidt bender PM 2 help warbird, I think you misunderstand my posts..... There are two links to SuB that give the OP all the information he needs on the scope plus some relevant questions on his scope that he should know the answers to. IMHO that is far more helpful and a far more...
