    That was a BSA factory accessory known as a 'Range Adapter'. You attached it over the muzzle brake when you were on a shooting range to avoid discomfort to other shooters from the side blast. I...

    I sold an identical MS .270 with a Kahles scope and Pachmayr Lo-Swing mounts back in 1975 (43 guns younger). Beautifully made and finished, they couldn't find the staff capable of making them these...

    I have an SIII 6-24x50 on my long range rifle and I am chuffed with it as good value for money. The adjustments are positive and the return to zero is spot on. Not quite as good optics as a similar...

    As a gunsmith I have a natural aversion to Turkish-made guns. They look OK but only time will tell if they will last the distance. A bog standard CZ will be a little dearer but has an excellent...

    Tommy liked post by gundoc On thread : Modifying a suppressor
    You will probably find the existing hole closer to 7mm (6mm is a tad tight for a .22 suppressor). A nice long taper (about 40-50mm) well polished and plenty of oil will work fine.
