    RJ Renner 303 British

    The early no1s didn't have a charger bridge at all. That's why they have such a streamlined look. Some also started with a dust cover that fitted to the bolt which really smoothed them out. A nice fishbelly mag would look sweet too. There was also another model, the SHT LE that had a model with...

    The rifle Remington SHOULD have made, 30 Express .375 H&H

    Next trick is the reamer and whether I get the p14 with the 308 target barrel reamed out or a very good but very mildly P17 barrel fitted and done. Don't have to turn that down and believe that was a thing done back in the day anyway, Plus, I think it is a more correct 1-10 twist, and my target...

    The rifle Remington SHOULD have made, 30 Express .375 H&H

    Thank you very much for that. I have one of Roy Dunlap's books and it's very good but it's not the one with the P17 mods for magnums.

    The rifle Remington SHOULD have made, 30 Express .375 H&H

    I have a p14 project, and am wondering if you could give me some guidance. I am considering doing one in 300HH if i can get a reamer, I have some p17 Mag boxes that i could modify to make the right length, Think the bolt stop might have to be shortened? Mag rails should be ok wuth the 300? start...

    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.

    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...

    Enfield SMLE.

    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

    Don't be. It is what it is. Nice to see what's out there

    Enfield SMLE.

    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.

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