  1. Merjp,

     

    As TimS says, we don't discuss price here as it can lead to all sorts of unwelcome complications. But, as Squishy has indicated there are so many factors to be taken into account that it is extremely difficult anyway. Another important factor is availability and demand. There may well be more available in Surrey than say Caithness and there could be fewer buyers in Northern Ireland than Birmingham. At the end of the day it's worth what you agree with the seller.

  2. Some time ago I did search for an alternative supplier but found the NSRA to be very competitive. If search for:

    Abrasion-Resistant Natural Latex Rubber Sheet

    You will find a wide selection of suppliers in the UK

  3. gregsy,

     

    I understand the sentiments that you express however you may wish to consider the following points:

     

    1. This is a public forum and provided that members observe the rules they are free to make relevant posts.

    2. Unlike some other forums we are not permitted to provide "valuations".

    3. All the posts in this thread are relevant to the item offered for sale, they offer factual information and none refer to condition or offer opinion.

    4. The Sales section of the forum pleasantly free from any form of recrimination; I certainly cannot recall seeing any adverse comments.

    5. If you do not wish to accept that comment may be made, then there are other forums where this does not happen or commercial sites such as Gunstar or Egun.

     

    I believe that the information that members have provided may be of siginificant assistance to Greg in concluding a successful sale of his rifle.

  4. With a flat-backed bolt and the old-style muzzle, my bet is just the one

     

     

    That's what I would have bet as well. It is conceiveable; although unlikely; that the rear housing may have been replaced. Double extractor introduced 1964/5? I had a 1963 rifle with a single.

  5. While im here the whole thing about whilst holding the pistol grip and making the butt touch your elbow allegedly originates from issuing Lee Enfields to soldiers for drill purposes.. anyone shed any light on this?

     

    A very good guide to setting the butt length for standing, not useful for anything else.

  6. I am reluctant to post information that could be construed as advertising on behalf of any particular company, but I have sent you a PM that indicates a couple of sources that I know clubs have used.

  7. This rifle is complete and in excellent condition, but surpluss to the clubs requirements.

    We are willing to sell or swap for a lightweight Anschutz.

    Any offer please be realistic

     

    Hi Ange,

     

    I would like to point out that any items offered for sale on the forum should include the price and methods of payment.

  8. They are students and young - see a target like a football through a pinhole!

     

     

    They may have better accomodation, but I feel it unlikely that they have superior magnification! In any event, using too large a foresight is much less disadvantageous than using one that is too small.

  9. Thanks Rutty for your reply. Having spoken to the club hon.sec we would be interested in finding out, if you can provide it, the following information.

     

    How much was the cost of the replacement citcuit board?

     

    The contact details of the person/business who made the board?

     

    How long did it take?

     

     

    HPS 1200

     

    Sorry, didn't notice your request for info. The board was made up by "a friend of a friend". It cost us about £30.00, but I suspect that was not a commercial rate. I am told that it is the kind of item that an electronics hobbyist can fabricate.

     

    Interesting to read that Granvil Jones is still around. A couple of years ago I tried to get him to supply 5 sets of target holder wires for the carriers. He promised them, they didn't appear, I contacted him again and he promised them again. Still waiting.

  10. Hi McDonald,

     

    The integral dovetail on the receiver is standard on all models, but the method of attaching the foresight changed with the introduction of the 1911. If you have a 1411 you will have a detachable block (secured by screws) to mount the foresight. On the 1911 the foresight dovetail was machine onto the barrel in a similar manner to the receiver dovetail. Now you can probably guess the next bit, you cannot fit a 1411 foresight to a 1911 as the dovetails are different! As the foresight riser in question is 3rd party item, your guess is as good as mine what it might or might not fit. But if it was made for an integral dovetail it is unlikely to fit the earlier version.
