Barrel is easily changed with clamp and action wrench
Yes but its not the quick-change system of the later AIs such as the AX and AT which can be be done with an allen key in the field. The barrel screw the above user was referencing is the quick-change feature of the later rifles.

As it's an AE it won't have the changeable barrel

If anyone is looking for once fired .303 brass the Vickers Machine Gun Collection & Research Association have some available.

Excellent, il drop you a message!

I take it this sold long ago?
-
Not a magnum cal either on that one
-
With the scope 7k is definitely within reach, my estimate was minus scope
-
Advertising around the £4-5k mark would probably be about right I think, but it may sit for a while, these type of rifles don't seem to be selling super quickly lately.

Thanks Roy, yes it's from my AI PM, was hoping if I could find the mag they started with I could make some more for myself.
Steve Houghton in his book mentions they might be Tikka hence my initial assumption.

Hello,
I have a magazine that has been modified from a Tikka (or similar) magazine to .308 to go in a vintage AI rifle. The modification was done in the mid 80s so the original mag will be from a rifle of that vintage, does anybody know what it may be from originally as I would like to make some more mags for myself.
The mag internals have been blocked and the follower chopped to accommodate 308 to work in the AI so I would presume the mag started out in a long action calibre e.g. 300wm.
Any help is much appreciated

Doesn't look like a folder, the hinge mech isn't there, looks like the fixed variant to me.

Thats 16MOA on your scope not 1.6 MILS. 16MOA is considerably more than 1.6 MILS

Selling my Mint condition .338 AI moderator as the buyer of my rifle did not have a slot for it so selling separately.
As seen in the photos the moderator is in pristine condition and has barely been used.
These are £683 brand new from Sporting Services (AI product code: 5620-338LM)
Price: £450 no offers (can include the Tab Gear Suppressor cover for an extra £40.
Location: Salisbury, Wiltshire. Happy to RFD transfer at buyers expense.
If you have any questions just ket me know with a DM or comment down below.

Ok thanks, I only use Lapua so not much use for me. Good luck with the sale.

When the Police say I must "Lodge my guns at a dealer". How does that work exactly, and what is the likely cost to lodge them and then get them back say 2 months later??
I obviously know it means all my guns, mods and ammo go to a dealer. I mean more about paperwork, and cost....
Thanks.
I'm not an RFD but typically dealers charge between £3-5 per week for firearm storage. Unsure of the paperwork implications but i would imagine you inform the police of the red you have left them with.

Yes the mount has sold I'm afraid.

I believe they are the same mod they just mark them differently for licensing ease e.g. if you have a .308 rifle and are applying for a .338 mod for it the police would be funny about it. I have one marked .338 and use it on both my 308 and 338 and have an unmarked one which is identical to the one marked 338.

As far as I know they have never been surplussed and all the ones out there are of dubious origin.
