I am currently having a USMC sniper clone made. It took a long while to find a nice 1903A1, they simply aren't around. If you want a C stock version then it may take even longer. I wouldn't bother looking for a NM rifle, you'll be looking for a long time and, as already said, why get a rare rifle like that then drill holes in it? The Hi-Lux Malcolm USMC 8x scope clone is a well made optic and comes complete with the bases. Then find a decent gunsmith to fit it and scallop the top cover.

Very nice. That rifle was originally sold by Enfield to AJ Parker in Birmingham, dispatched on the 3rd Nov 1970

Can you post photos of the sidewall engraving and confirm serial number please? Is the bolt matching?

He can't sell/dispose or give to you unless it is deactivated to the new EU standards. His options are - Do the work to upgrade it and get a new certificate or give it to an RFD to do. If he gives/sells it to you as it is then you both break the law

Agreed, but that's not what you said, hence my reply. Your post inferred that 1-4-1's were only for like calibres. Every slot has to have justification, but your point is well made for a newbie who might not think about that.

It neither has to be the same calibre, same type of firearm or even a firearm slot for a 1-4-1. EG I have swapped a Spare Barrel slot for a RIfle and a 22 Rifle slot for a 308/7.62 rifle slot. Some forces try to impose a 'you must request the 1-4-1 within 'X' number of days. This is not correct, the guidance clearly states their is no time limit in doing so.

Beautiful watch. Something about OMEGAs, just classy

Maybe the TR shooters will have to take turns pulling their own targets like they used to...……...

Do you see the irony in the fact you are annoyed that people don't want to buy something that you yourself don't want?

I'll take them please

Looks excellent Dave, 'necessity is the mother of invention' as they say!

I'll take them, will PM you

Stumbled on this by accident. Not suitable for an AI, but built for Airsoft and possibly suitable for a .22 or a Remi? Some excellent craftsmanship and a good price too! Wooden AW stocks

Sporting Services will sell you a barrel Dave

FROM the NRA FB page WEEKDAY SHOOTING IS BACK!! As of Friday 5th June we will be open for bookings on Fridays (morning only) as well as Saturday/Sunday (all day) NCSC will also be open to members and non-members all day Friday to Sunday commencing 5th June Get your range bookings in now! Please see previous announcements for more detail and restrictions in place.

They need to keep paying the wages of the staff who aren't furloughed. Having a handful of lanes as your only revenue streams means the prices need to reflect the outlay as much as possible. Seems totally reasonable to charge a price that reflects the situation. They have just announced weekday opening on Facebook, so expect a members email any time now

He means the people who will shoot the CSR Mini Imperial in September

I think Richard Stork at Devizes Gunsmith still has one of these for sale if others want one.

Dave I think considerations are being made such as to only use handhelds. It may well be that by Sept the 2m rule will be relaxed if face coverings are used, or other such methods so two on a frame may be ok by then. I know Peter is considering all options to make it work. I think a lot can happen by Sept Fingers crossed

What did the NRA say when you asked them this?

I suppose it's down to mitigation. If they do everything they can, then they can demonstrate due care. If they said 'you can shoot two to a lane with family members' imagine how convoluted it would all get. Personally I'll wait until some degree of normality returns. If you feel strongly enough, why not contact Andrew Mercer and tell him so, I'm sure he'll be in a better position to change things than strangers on a forum

I think the NRA are just paying close attention to their duty of care. They are being responsible. Imagine teh outcry if they opened it up, someone caught the virus and died, then the family blamed the NRA. Their Risk Assessments would be scrutinised by Ambulance chasing solicitors in slow time. The person who puts their name to the decisions is rightly being cautious.

I'm sure Peter Cottrell has all that well in hand............................... single marking won't stop CSR taking place

Unless it is set up in a solid rifle rest and fired mechanically, surely there is no way of knowing whether 5mm error (for the centre of a group) is human error, ammo error or sight adjustment? What are you trying to hit? If they are that small you might as well use a fly swat.

Surely the issue has been fraudulent buyers, not sellers. No amount of controls would prevent someone contacting another member by PM to continue the fraud, except banning new members from PMs until they have X amount of posts. This would then require some concerted effort on the fraudsters part and move them elsewhere IMHO
