Welcome to F-B(UK) Jon, what do you shoot? Christel tells me she activated you and deleted the other 17 spammers at the same time who had tried to sign up <Sheesh!>
At least Oxford is not Eastern Block!

Well parts of Oxford are a bit Eastern block!
I own a .357 Winchester under leaver, a Lee Enfield No4 MK 1/2, a SMLE, a .308 Remington Tactical from TVG, a .300WM Tactical from TVG, a real trick P14 from TVG, a Parker Hale musketoon (Birmingham made), Ruger 10/22, Browning T Bolt.
I also have several interesting shotguns including an OU black powder Berreta and a 10g Bonehill.

Have a look at the link, maybe trick is the wrong word, I had an old P14 target rifle that was in a bad way, so turned it into this, a real pleasure to shoot.

Unusual however I do like it. Are you Thames Valley Guns and did you do all the work yourself?

No not me, I wish I had Paul's wealth of Knowledge and experience! I just had the idea and handed it over to Paul, he did all the work got it reproofed and gave it back.
I was offered under £60 for the rifle as it was in a real bad way, the stock was hand made, bent and split end to end, the sights were bent and the head space was all wrong! So it was do something with it or send it to the crusher, and we didn't want to do that!
