    Parker Hale T4

    The Parker Hale 7.62mm hammer forged barrels are considered by our local NZNRA shooters, to be good out to 800 yards. Glass bedding of the receiver to fore-end interface—where allowed—has proven greatly beneficial, according to my friend Duncan MacKee, husband of government minister, the...

    What would be a good modern functional scope for a m1903a3

    The Leupold M8 4x that was discontinued circa 1989-90 has a 28mm objective lens and 3.6x magnification. True eye relief of that scope is approximately 3.6 inches. It was popular on Parker Hale conversions of the SMLE No.1 Mk III and rifles with similar backsight setups.

    New Projects

    That sporterised No. 4 appears to have a Sile stock. They were waterproofed via the Morse process i.e., lowering them into glycol, to drive out all the moisture. Looking forward to seeing the project updates.

    Younger than me. Born in 1962 and started school in 1968, so ... according to nieces, nephews and a great nephew, I am probably vintage :D! Therefore ... VINTAGE.

    Tikka T1x not extracting fired cases

    This is why .. I have always saved fired cases from my competition .22 rimfire rifles for dry-firing practice. I started doing that when I got into 25m indoor shooting in the mid to late '80s. I do the same for every new acquisition .22 rimfire.

    Tikka T1x not extracting fired cases

    1. Check the case rim diameter of all three types that you are using. Winchester and Eley tend to have larger rim diameters than brands such as Lapua. At the least, you can identify OR eliminate a possible cause of failure. I identified this factor during my ownership of an original Browning T...

    Quantico T48 Trial Rifles

    Thank you. The first rifle I used was an issued S.L.R L1A1. You can dial the windage exactly, using the opposing screws on the receiver sight. The tipping breech-block and breech-block carrier arrangement is, complete with ‘sand cuts’, more resistant to dirt than a—breech—bolt and bolt-carrier...

    Thank you, Ricardo.

    Valmet m76 with Swarovski

    That would be, essentially, the same optical system that is built into a standard Steyr AUG. I presume that it has finer adjustments than the ludicrous 50mm @100m for the AUG version. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.

    Vintage Sniper Christmas Advent Calendar

    The trigger is only part of the problem with the Steyr AUG. The return spring has a hook on the end which attaches to the partial collar that, in turn, stops the bolt from rotating when out of battery. That hook can break without warning, after several hundreds of rounds. The weapon is then...

    Vintage Sniper Christmas Advent Calendar

    I knew a guy who was about 5"6" and got bored with bow hunting. He went back to rifle hunting and bought himself an R93 UIT in order to go bush and tops hunting! Each to their own.

    Very nice. I have also wanted one for a while BUT it was simply too much hassle to add an extra chambering to my loading list. Time to stop messing around and seek one out!

    Swiss K31 Sniper Build

    Pecar 3x would be a viable option, dependent upon condition. The 4-10x was actually used by UK Police marksmen with the L39, as I recall.

    A mystery Mauser

    The ‘turret’ Mount was developed for an Argentine order of 98/1909 rifles and was originally called the Argentinian-Montage. Source: German Sniper Rifles, pub. by S.I. Publicaties. ISBN 978-90-78521-04-4. The ‘Schweden-Montage’ or short side rail mount was jointly developed in the early 1930s by...

    A mystery Mauser

    @TorF It has just occurred to me that, if this rifle is a genuine sniper rifle, it was probably made up for the Gebirgsjaeger. Maybe you could locate some photo images of German alpine troops in Norway.
