@Got-ya thanks for that, always keen to get another one underway!

And for the ejection, it is just a spring loaded bit of steel, pointed out in this picture, which flicks the spent case out.

Let me know if that answers your questions! Happy to provide more pictures if needed.

@kip13 and @grandpamac
Thankyou both. Great photos tell me much and I can relate to comments re comparisons between CRF and PF actions.

Hey kip, have you got any more close up pictures of the rear of your receiver with the aperture sight on it?

I got one m1910 sporter rebarrled in 30cal and had the factory Buckhorn sights swapped over.

God the sight picture is awful. Fun to shoot though, but could be a lot better.

Great looking guns btw

@SeftonB here you go. It depends what kind of receiver bridge you have, the .280 came with the ring sight as an option like this one. If it was originally a military rifle or .303 sporter it probably doesn't have the right bridge.

Would be keen to see some pictures of yours, what caliber was it originally and what is it now?

I'll figure out how to put photos ae, not the most savvy unfortunately will get back to ya

Sorry about the photo bomb, I got it done into a 30 cal 303, shoots bloody well if your eyes are upto it haha. Is an original sporting rifle as far as my knowledge goes.

Thanks for the pics of your bridge BTW. I know a guy that would relish making something like that. Photos are super appreciated

Very cool, looks like a Model-R factory sporter. A very nice gun, yes should be able to fab something up easy enough!
