Looks good, does it have that flash hider muzzle brake on it or is that a earlier model?
I have a maligned b series monarch but quite like it.

This rifle does not have one. (Thank god. I wouldnt have got it if it did have one.) That was a muzzle break, called a BESA something. You could order one these rifles with one or on the later BSA Majestics if you wanted one. I have had only one rifle with it, it was on a .270 BSA Imperial, and it was truly horrible to shoot. Blew your ears out even with ear plugs. Used tp blast dust and leaves all over you when the muzzle blast shot out sideway. I could not imagine taking it hunting. I cut it off with a hacksaw and then had yet another short barreled .270 for a little while; which are also very unpleasant to shoot but better than it was.
Just a couple of pics

Nicest Brno's I have ever seen , what models are they if you don't mind me asking
Trigger bow looks like it's from a Model 21 with a Mauser lever release floorplate, clever bit of metal work there
The pair together are a Brno model 1 & Model 2, the other by itself is a CZ american.Quote:

Stripped back the stock ,True oiled, fitted a pad as the old one was perished from sitting in someone’s cupboard for may years. Bluing is original and the only scuffs it has are ones Ive put on it. If I only had one gun it would be this .

Please excuse photo attachment, my first go at it.Attachment 265791
Very nice what calibre ?
Sorry Erniec , 308 . Shoots Sako Gamehead 1 inch at a hundred . Quite light compared to My Bergara extreme hunter , which is “chunky”.

Been looking for one of these for a few years now. Managed to pick it up today.
Sako Finnwolf 308 with 2-7 Leupold. Not the prettiest but a bit of a project.
Nice one. All sorts of lovely bits of kit on this thread but also you come across rifles you never knew about. Didn’t realise that Sako produced a lever action. Interesting, thanks.
Got this on this forum from a good bugga.
Yet to shoot it- getting the ammo side of things sorted now.
It's a Carl Gustav 1867 model Remington Rolling block in 12.7x44 - basically a 50 cal version of 45-70.
Shoots 400 +grainers with Black Powder.
Dummy round sitting next to a 243.
Thanks to @Akaroa for advice and info about Black Powder shooting.

He puts his heart and soul into his work doesn’t he. An old time craftsman. And a top bloke.

Yes the long way. No replicator in his wee shop. You need to be patient but he’s one of the best.Quote:

Laurie refurbished a couple of my stocks. If you are in a rush or inpatient find someone else. All good things take time.
