    ATTENTION CONNECTICUT GUN OWNERS!

    Re: ATTENTION CONNECTICUT GUN OWNERS! We have had this BS in the UK for years. The only thing gun control achieves is to penalise the law abiding shooter. As others have said...anything can be used as a lethal weapon in the hands of those so inclined. Go to any hardware store or kitchen...

    1942 Savage by Holland and Holland

    Re: 1942 Savage by Holland and Holland I may be wrong (age + jetlag! ) but doesn't Peter also mention that there were H&H staff working at the plants to do the work? It's been a while since I read the book....but I'm sure I remember reading or hearing that somewhere.

    1942 Savage by Holland and Holland

    Re: 1942 Savage by Holland and Holland Thanks Chris - interesting. Any idea of numbers? Laidler gives production numbers for H&H of No4(T)split by original manufacturers. Does Skennerton say when these BSA rifles were done (early, late or throughout production?) or as a protoytpe/part of the...

    1942 Savage by Holland and Holland

    Re: 1942 Savage by Holland and Holland I know Long Branch did them (and used a different Canadian manufactured scope) but as fas as I know H&H did all the UK built rifles...and these were mainly (exclusively? can't check as away on a trip) on Maltby, BSA and Savage donors

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    Re: Finnish M39-SOV Project begins.... MJ, JL - thanks for the further comments and support. JL - yes, you are right. Under UK law I could keep the rifle as is and shoot it without re-proofing. If I ever wanted to sell it however (either with or without the conversion to -SOV spec) it would...

    Re: Finnish M39-SOV Project begins.... JL - no pissing contest implied or taken I can quite understand that smiths in countries where MN's were issue rifles and are still prevalent may have a LOT more experience in the field than those in places where they are less common. And I'm...

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    Re: Finnish M39-SOV Project begins.... JL - thanks for the advice. It is not the first time I've heard that using gauges for measuring MN headspace is incorrect. However, as far as I am aware, that is how the UK proof house would determine whether they deem the rifle "safe" - whether it is...

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    Re: Finnish M39-SOV Project begins.... Joop, you're right. I've spoken to Paul and he's OK with it. He'll break the rest of the gun up for spares so he'll make his money back. The more I think about it, it is the sensible thing to do.

    Re: Finnish M39-SOV Project begins.... JL - thanks for those diagrams. Very useful. Would describe the trigger at the moemnt as a typical infantry rifle pull...not the worst I've ever used, but could be improved.
