Hi
the Enfield is in need of fixing the split in the fore end as it is a laminated stock ,So I put a cross bolt in and glued it back together , a bit of reshaping and a bedding job . then it will need painting , a clean up of the metal work , and sort out some sights .

Dave

What sort of sights are you looking for Dave?

Hi

The .22s are the love of my life all bar one are vintage , 1978 Anshutz 54 set up for bench rest at the moment , BSA Martinis and Vickers Martinis , a couple of BRNOs , and my latest aquisition a BSA Long Lee military trainer . Four of us in the family shoot so I get through a fair bit of ammo .
My club has a couple of competitions every year my partners 19 year old daughter and myself enter various classes and manage a couple of medals .
This was her last entry and she got a silver for each rifle , shot at 25yds ,

Its shot prone , kneeling , standing , with a sand bag rest supposedly to represent military training , although she had a foot in plaster so shot prone and seated .

I enter the optics class [ old eyes ] so all my rifles are scoped that I use for comps .


I was interested in the item on the Practical precision match .

No 32 scope :lol: I have seen the one in the for sale section . No not really , cant afford it at present . I do have a set of repro pads and mount , but not sure yet where they are going to be used as I was thinking of building a repro No 4 T in .22 .
One day , another project .

I have seen a couple up for sale recently including one on this forum, they have been hitting silly prices recently so I was impressed to see the recent prices. Have you followed the No4(T) build project on the Milsurps forum?
