Thread: A new lease on life

Bugger forgot about looking for that barrel.i said I had.
Probably don't need it

@csmiffy that target is with the old barrel,its constantly grouped worse as the time has gone by,will try to get some pics and post of the bore

Nice, nice, nice.

I'll have another go at finding it

Very nice, I also have a soft spot for project guns such as these. Often nice rifles that one person has let deteriorate, then they get passed around like the village bicycle until someone fixes them up.

I did a similar project on a Parker Hale Tx1200 target rifle in 308 that was looking nasty. Made a new stock for it, cut the super long heavy barrel back to 16" and reprofiled it to a lightweight contour. Fitted suppressor and scope rings and away we went with a very accurate 308 hunting rifle.

@SixtyTen you are correct i get a good satisfaction from giving old sporter a birthday, unfortunatly with this one the barrel is past usable.
