    P14 DG rifles

    Worth a cracking but I have a sneaking suspicion I have asked him previously. Probably from the same thinking as you

    P14 DG rifles

    Not any to rent Bob here in NZ. Tried a contact someone gave me on this forum for a guy in OZ, but never heard back. Got some good gunsmiths locally it's just the reamer.

    One more firearm...or are you done?

    Winchester Model 70 Featherweight 270 or 6.8 Western

    Maybe find a 270 with a toasted barrel and debarred it with a fast twist. Then you almost have both if you really felt like it

    P14 DG rifles

    I probably should finish my P14 project. A P14 BSA sporter (rear sight gone and d/t'd for scope bases with a 308 target barrel, some P17 magazine bits etc. Timney and Canjar trigger although the cancer is more if a target type. Need a proper stock. Would like to make it a 300HH but readers are...

    Happy to stand corrected. Yes agreed the No4 is the way to go for a 4570 but I was pretty positve that had been done on the no1s as well. Definitely didn't known the 5s were that much weaker than the 4s. I will defer to Sarg as he is a 303 guru as far as I'm concerned

    A slightly longer magazine box from a P17 helps.

    Classic plains game rifles and cartridges

    Wish I saw stuff like that here. I'm sure there is but not a lot that comes up for sale.

    460 Weatherby, Ryan Breeding

    So some handloading to get optimum speeds without massive muzzle blast is required

    Classic plains game rifles and cartridges

    270, 303 (soft spot). 7x57, 8x57 and 3006. Why so much money? You could pick up a worn out parker hale and get it rebarreled and bedded and have it shooting thumbtacks at a hundy. A couple of years back I got a tidy little sporterised czech mauser 8x57 with a stepped barrel, dies and burris...

    Enfield SMLE.

    Yup. That's the mauser type. Close enough I think enfield had to pay royalties or such to Mauser. A good one can handle pretty much anything. The side lug types especially the no4/5s can handle things like 45/70 and I there is such a thing as 375x 2 1/2. A 303 blown out to 375. Meant to be...

    Wouldn't that be the mauser type P14/P17 type enfields, not the side locking lug types?
