  1. No PM has come through so i think Cumbrian has nailed it - PM's could be broke!

     

    Apologies Al, I didn't send one! It was an invite to PM me, not that one was sent :)

    Can you ping me a picture of the back of the strap just to make sure it will do the job? I'll wire the money then "as normal" ;)

     

    Cheers,

    H.

  2. More to the point, I regret that the club member for whom I was buying now informs me that it is the sling keeper, not the standard KT strap that is required. So further apologies for the mistake. Hope you can find another buyer.

    "Jacket arm sling hook and mounting buckle with screws £10"

    In which case our club might find this useful to turn a rarely used LH jacket into an ambi.

     

    PM away :)

  3. As the price is in Australian dollars I think that may be a give away ;)

    I thought some bright spark might say that, but just because the price is in AUD does not mean the article is also there, nor even that is the currency of the transaction.

     

    I carefully selected the term "confirm", which should have alluded to the reader that I know there is an assumption I could make about the location of the item but that I chose not to make that assumption - after all we all know what assumption is the mother of. Do you assume the bullet will go in the middle? I don't :P:P

  4. To fit a sight on a P14 its mounted with an integral tang & plug that goes under the bolt retaining leaf spring or a fork & a plug with a lug on it to go under the spring. Its then held secure by the axis pin thru the sight 'ears'.

     

    Exactly as my photos demonstrate ;) - you can see where that pin fits by looking at my first photo - there is a round recess in the original left battle sight ear (I'm not sure it's a 'repair' as such Phil). IIRC my sight is also 1/2 MOA.

     

    Better at the longer ranges than shorter, and does surprisingly well with HPS TM 155gr.

  5. Just spotted this if you haven't sorted your issue yet.

     

    Looks like these work by using the actual accessory's clamp, allowing a reduced depth by not requiring clamp bolts in the spacer itself; just a slit to allow movement, similar to what I described earlier.

     

    [i have no connection with the seller]

     

    "Alloy construction", huh? Hmm, aluminium alloy, ferrous alloy, titanium alloy... :blink:

  6. eBay item 201439149215 might give you some pointers (I have no connection other that as stated above, if indeed it is the same seller). Note minimum riser height stated as 6mm on Match 54 foresights, but I would suggest you contact the seller to discuss something along the lines I described above.

     

    The grubscrews in your Euro version may interfere with the screws/holes in the top face of your '54 dovetail - just a thought.

  7. There is the chap on eBay

    As a club we've bought from him and he does seem flexible in the work he would do.

     

    I imagine to be of such low profile, the raiser would need to extend beyond (either in front or behind) the existing foresight mount to allow a single clamp screw there, rather than have the clamp screws (in the particular design from eBay) running on top of the existing mount which would probably push it too high. The eBay ones are a 'close' fit anyway, so it should only need a nip on a single screw to secure it.

     

    Alternatively, an 8mm on the front and a 4mm on the back - certainly if only to test the fix.
