    Good morning Neil

    Have you any idea of its age?  I would be interested in more photos.

    Kind regards

    David

    As an 1807, it will be between 1980 and 1987.

    Would you be able to upload a photo to be clear which handstop you are referring to.

    This is a guess, but I think it must be a 4733 or 4734. The 4751 isn't adjustable for depth, and the 4752 is, but isn't a ball/socket swivel.

  3. Does anyone have a spanner for a Centra Foresight Iris going spare? Having just struggled to remove mine, I think I"d like the right too for the next time.

    Mine's a 22mm if it matters.

    Please explain? “willyroe” kindly posted a message, not me… is that not allowed? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Neil was replying to Willyroe I imagine. As Willyroe is a new member they need to reach a certain number of posts to have full forum access. I'm inferring that Neil wants these posts to make a useful contribution to discussions on the forum, and not be random.

    Having 'Googled' is it a clamp to hold a palm rest onto a rifle grip? Its difficult from the internet picture of one to identify what or where it goes.

    It's a short bar that slides in the handstop rail. There's a screw hole to lock it in place. Think of the sliding part of most Anschutz handstops or a System Gemini.

    There’s a left handed 1907 on Guntrader for under 1k last time I checked. It didn’t have a particularly desirable stock though. 

    Is it this one? https://www.guntrader.uk/guns/rifles/anschutz/bolt-action/22-lr/1907-231209122618002

    1907 stocks aren't my favourite, but that's ISU Standards for you. This one is 2000s at a rough guess, so has an actual adjustable cheekpiece where an earlier 1907 only has a removable one, packed with spacers.

    It looks better than the 1807L (no 5?) That St Andrews had in my day.

  7. My club wants upgrade a club Match 54 rifle, we're looking for an older Prone or Supermatch (mods 1811, 1813, or 1411 and 1413 with an adjustable cheekpiece). Appearance isn't important, but we'd prefer no structural damage. Stock bolts would be a bonus.

  8. This is a bit of a long shot, but I'm after the butt assembly from a Finnish Lion Champion. I have an M55 and want length adjustment, together with a flatter buttplate. Failing this a Finnish Lion Champion buttplate would do.

    A complete Champion stock would be ideal, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Adrian, if you want, I can measure the Mk5 receiver which I believe is the same as the mk4

    Digging through some notes, I have the Mk 5 as 1-1/16in, which is indeed the same as the Mk 4. Mk 2 receivers I have listed 1-1/8in though, so a Mk 4 or 5 stock would not fit without work.

    Holts unsold lot number 5051 has an adjustable stock. The entire rifle is £65, but perhaps they would scrap it and sell you the stock? Maybe worth a call?

    That's a Mk 4 International. £65 would seem a bit steep for a basic buttplate. I have in mind that the Mk4 receiver was slightly wider than a Mk 2, so the wooden butt is not a straight swap 

  11. Adrian,

    From memory BSA never made an adjustable buttplate for the MK 2. A Mk 4/5 plate would fit, I'd expect screw spacing to be the same, but wouldn't bet my life on it. Other simple options are the Anschutz 4709, and "Bisley" brand.  Either may require plugging one of the holes for the original plate and re-drilling. These are both limited in vertical movement - if you have a very high right shoulder don't expect full contact with the buttplate.

  12. Fred,

    I haven't found a forum yet where posts are forwarded/notified by email: you get an email for Private Messages here, and notifications on forum when some uses the reply function to quote a post, but just posting on a thread as you did doesn't normally trigger anything.

    As a rule replying to posts more than a year old, especially if directly answering the Original Poster's query, is considered a bit pointless.
