I have to confess, I have never seen a Match 64. I looked at the foto of the stock and assumed it was some very early Match 54. TR shooter, if you have a square to round adapter with the M6 Fine countersunk screws, one way to solve it is to mark thro the action holes in it into the wooden stock and then carefully drill holes with enough diameter to clear standard cap head screws, then obtain cap head screws instead of countersunk. I think the only way to get M6 Fine countersunk screws would be to have some made. I have an old Match 54 stock with rubber buttplate that has the bolts with washers and thought, wrongly, it was same/similar to what TR shooter had. J

If TRshooter is reffering to action bolts , are they not M5 Fine. Very hard, probably impossible to just get from a hardware store. Also, dont these action bolts come with a series of washers fitted to them!

it can be yours Buz.

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. Jonty

Hi, Are you sure its 22mm? The box for the iris shows it to be M18 and the tunnel looks to be an 18mm. Jonty

Ive sent you a P.M Jonty

I have for sale One Gemini Ultra rifle stock. It is machined to take Anschutz round action. These were an early version for Gemini and have, I believe maple woodwork and an alloy chassis. The bedding bolts are present. The buttplate carrier extends and locks in place using spacers, These are not present, but easily available on eBay in a colour of your choice. The cheekpiece adjusts vertically and laterally. The condition is very good with only minor marks from limited use. These are very rare, especially in this condition. Look at the phots carefully. Thank You for looking.

Tim, Would someone be able to produce one from a 3D printer? I appreciate its not wood. J

Phil, Doesnt the sling loop detach from the handstop by depressing the button under the loop? I thought these were a standard type of loop which can be removed! Jonty

Personally, I think the flexible adjuster is one of the most useful items you could use in target shooting, obviously on stands that will accept them. UNC sounds right, UNF (Unified national Fine (Thread)) the C is for Coarse. With Fine you would be winding it forever.

I prefer the moniker 'flexible adjuster'. When I get down into position, it is easy to fine adjust the scope into the position you require. With a right hand shooter, with the scope and stand on the left and the left hand set in the sling, it was always difficult to try to reach the old round headed adjuster, the flexible adjuster eliminates this problem. Im surprised someone isnt turning them out by the bucket load. Just a word to the wise. Ive noticed that some of the original adjusting knobs, mainly on Tuckers stands, can have different threads. This could of course be due to someone re-tapping the hole to fit a different knob, if they have lost the original and decided to replace it with an easier to obtain thread. I think, from memory, that in Andrew Tucker stands, the thread was 'UNF'. This can easily be checked by taking the diameter of the threaded knob, and checking it against details of threads that can easily be found on a Google search. These details will give you 'Threads per inch' so using a rule, count the threads. This should correspond with the old known threads, BSF, BSW, UNF and UNC. Metric threads were not used in days of yore. As for the Freeland scope, being American, they are more than likely to be one of the first above four threads. Jonty

Now I have your interest, I have a Match 54 barrelled action which is Free to a good home. It has not been used for many a year but prepared and kept in storage. At some time in its life, it appears it was stored in a wood stock and the moisture in the wood has affected and removed the blueing from underneath the action. The bore condition appears good. Although it will have fired many rounds in its lifetime, it still shoots very accurately and Im sure someone can make good use of it. Face to face transaction in Wakefield, West Yorkshire or RFD to RFD at your cost. If you have any questions, please ask. You must have a space of course on your FAC for a .22 rifle. There is not a trigger unit with this item. Thank You Jonty
