did this a while back but horrid at posting them when I do it. Just a tip-use the proper drill for doing holes for plugs otherwise you get ragged edges. Already knew I'd done it way back when but...

GunGirl762 Yup all over that one-If I ever reload for it I might have a play stepping up the loads to suit the action but if the barrel shoots like crap maybe not.
Ricks Microfit gunstocks seem to...

Russian 22 just remember while my barrel is better than I thought it still isn't that flash

My Gunsmith Jim you mean?
Not 100% sure-we were at the gunclub and a squad was up so didn't hear everything he said.
he didn't rate hoppes as much as other stuff. I think KG 12 may have been...

It will be better than when it started especially the stock even though the prudent thing would be to get another.
Stock that is.
project #2 is a parker hale safari 7x57 with a fecked barrel that's...

Here are some happy snaps of the stock which I started playing with weeks ago but never took pics.
Pics of the action which I just got back today from my friendly gunsmith from the shooting club....

That's a bit of a kicker too I spose.
Don't want to pay 100 bucks for materials to bed and fix the stock if I can get one out the US for 200.
Then again might never get the new stock out and the...

Good advice, mine rocks backwards and forwards on the two action screws, it needs at least a quasi pillar bed to sort that out before I tackle the bedding, but I want to do it for a practice...

My barrel not as bad as that. From memory my P+H safari 7x57 is like that.
This one somewhere between yuck and mint so could be alright.
worst thing is I have a big fat Burris 50mm 2x10 that...

Tupara good stuff and thank you for the offer of the mounts, although I may not need them.
The Gunsmith type person who is D/T'ing the top for me is sorting out mounts. He said they can be a PITA as...

mucko cheers-yeah looked at these guys first and then found the other site, but at least you can get the Boyds in NZ now.
Not many do stocks for the P14 so not a lot to pick from. Thought there'd...

Good stuff mucko
Between this and the parker hale project I have a couple of cartridges I need to look at. I can probably see a 7mm rem mag in the future as I always liked them but not so sure about...

mucko you are right. My initial internet research suggested doing the exact same thing, using the p17 mag box to get the length.
Probably good in the day when there were a bunch of junkers around...

good to hear from you all.
mucko- there were more basic models from BSA. Just looked them up-the model C had a different stock but the belly plate was still original as is the dogleg...

Cordite-From my minimal dr google research, the BSA model E was the top of the p14 conversions.
They straightened the floorplate, re-barrelled and restocked it.
Also drilled/tapped it for a side...

Russian22-Two piece stock? Its not an SMLE. Think mauserish. Richards microfit stocks were recommended to me-Some great looking stocks and from cheap to dear. Not just yet I think. Unless one pops...

This is the pics of the second attempt to fill in the rear sight hole that was left over from when it was sporterised.
First attempt was to drill and tap the action and fit a 3mm screw through the...

Got this from a fellow member a month ago-like this when he got it so not his fault.
Remember me asking about 303 ammo etc? it's for this.
Happy with price and condition as stated. all good.
The...
