In fairness I have a beat up old Martini action with .303 extractor that owes me $90 that I want to do a similar to. If I find any old 303 barrel with a good bore, already got a butt that cost me nothing, got an Aimpoint that is lonely since the AR is gone, and I'm keen to spin up a full barrel suppressor as a bit of a project, have it so you use the can as a fore-end like those fully suppressed .410's.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
I actually dont mind it.
Sort of
I would like the adapter for the rear stock to fit a folding AR type pistol grip for a pack rifle
I'd love a No#9
Thanks for the great start to my day
Greetings Pommy,
I rather like it actually. It still has the battle sights plus the little scopey thing and it has a Schnabel even. Should have lost some weight since the 1940's, short barrel, big mag and suppressed as well. Should get some reaction in the bush. Definitely an "A what" rifle. How does it shoot?

Somebody should be putting up photos of a 6mm Remington 700 soon.
Hey @grandpamac. I'd have to scope it to get a proper idea of what it's capable of. I fired off 20 rounds and managed about 1.25" at 50 after sighting in. This was at the range with very bright sun trying to wash out the target and my POA virtually obscured by the dot, so I think in the field I could do a bit better. So long as I can hit roos and goats in the right place out to 150-200m I'll be chuffed.
It was very pleasant to shoot - 125gr handloads were doing about 2740.

Greetings Pommy,
You probably don't need a scope, just a larger aiming mark. Something that you can centre the sight dot in. In the field you would centre the dot on the chest so no need to burden the rifle with a scope. This allows you to carry some spare ammo in charger clips if you can find some. This would add some more Rambo cred. Excellent, Sometimes it is not just about the hunting which I think you already know.
Regards a jealous Grandpamac.
