STOP IT.......that combo is enough to make a bush hobbit have wet dreams........my 4x m8 went very very well on mine.

On page two of this thread the OP mentions getting the trigger looked at but does not give a name. It was not Gundoc.

I think Hardys also are able to do triggers on lever guns, @Goosebayhunter I think you mentioned someone the other day too

Greetings,
Good to see that there are still several people in NZ that understand the benefit of fixed low power scopes especially on bush hunting rifles. Excellent field of view, nothing to fiddle with and stuff up and light as well. The low power variables 1.5 - 4 x 20 are almost as good if you must have something to twiddle.
Regards Grandpamac.

The problem with the BLR trigger is the totally weird hammer/sear relationship (clearly designed by a graduate engineer and not a gunsmith). Without some experience it is very easy to change this set-up into something that will simply not work safely, or not even work at all! If you can get a result by changing springs then give it a go. Do not stone or file the hammer or sear unless you are totally confident that you know what you are doing! Before you ask, the answer is no, I am retired.

Shot mine today ex@bomb,I owned it before but now threaded and suppressed, at 80 metres shot a 3 shot group I won't show you, under 12mm.

should not have sold it

I grabbed some tru oil amd other bits and bobs today. Thought i might give the stocks the treatment over the enforced break.

Well that was a disaster. Turns out that varnish is an epoxyband regular pint stripper doesnt do anything. Anyone got tips for an epoxy coating

try wrapping the stripper with glad wrap after application.

Sand it off

only thing i found for epoxy was tergo-strip. dont even know if you can still get it as it was real nasty stuff. be bloody careful with it and make sure you have lots of ventilation.
i put my rifle stock in the oven and got it almost too hot to touch, applied the tergo and epoxy came off pretty well. still lots of sanding afterwards though
