Hi all, There's been someone who has joined the forum on what I believe is more than one occasion, filling out their profile with plausible info and posting enough to activate the PM facility but then acting suspiciously with other members. The latest example claimed to be from Bedford RC in their profile but then told other members different stories when trying to sell them things. We noticed that in one day, this individual had come on to the site via 20 different IP addresses, and not even from a reputable VPN provider but by what looked to be compromised devices of unsuspecting individuals. All we can really say is that if someone is offering something that appears too good to be true, it probably is and suggest that you exercise caution. If in doubt, reach out and we'll look at some patterns behind the scenes. All the best, and thanks for using the forum responsibly Neil

Continuing on my retirement trail, I have a very special rifle for sale! It is built as a 300 mt rifle, BUT, being in .223 rem it is also eligible for NRA Target Rifle TR events as well!!! The action is a specially built Sportco M44, shortened action, with centre action screw, and front recoil lug action screw. The action is mat black ceracote. It is in .223 Rem calibre, with a new TSE bolt head, special bolt handle, and a new TSE adapter to take a new Bartlein 1 in 8 twist barrel, 640 mm (25") with .223 Wylde chambering. The trigger is a Bix'n Andy 20 gm two stage , (for 300 mt and any thing with a free trigger), plus it also comes with a Sportco TR eligible 1500 gm trigger (a straight, simple ten minute fit). The rear sight is a new Gehmann 590 compact, with Centra iris, and Centra lens hood, mounted on a Centra metric rail, and it also comes with a PH 5C TR 4 click per minute TR sight, complete with mounting bracket, a simple switch, so, a 300 mt free trigger and metric sights, ten minutes and a TR sight and trigger! The front sight is the superb Crystal Centra Cube, with Crystal High End element, and a 0.5 Crystal Eagle eye for TR! (that's £200 of front sight!) Forget the 30 mm TR front sights, you have never looked through a sight like this for clarity of picture! The action is on a special machined alloy bedding block bolted into the stock. The stock is a Keppeler full bore K5 with my own modified alloy fore end inserts to make it as slim as the new K9 stock. Finished in Metalic black with polished alloy detail. The grip is a Walther KK300, the cheek piece is a flat top Walnut wood, fully adjustable in every direction, with my own side folding cheek piece so it can be high, and fold to open the bolt, simples! The butt plate is a Keppeler, adjustable for length, height and angles, with a removable (for TR) butt hook. All complete with a colour matched Mirage band (choice of colours!). The barrel was very carefully run in, and has shot a logged 200 rounds in total, including one 60 shot 300 mt match (just over my average). It shoots superbly with NRA available GGG 69 gn match ammo, and even better including spectacularly in wind, with my special 80 gn hand loads. The sale will include a box of each! Why then am I selling it? It was my lock down project, plus If you look on the General threads for my "bucket list project" that I have just finished, that's why, plus retirement looms, I don't need two the same calibre, and I need the cabinet space!!! It's very special, suitable and competitive, for 300 mt, TR, bench rest, or what ever you wish to do! The pic is not very good, I lost patience with the resizing site!! Its just a taster, if you are interested I have more and better detail pics on email robin.carter80@ntlworld.com At a fraction of the cost to build, the first sensible offer close to £2500 gets it! Have Fun Robin

Now sold! Thanks Robin

Just for your information, I found the company that made the cable for the twiddly thing, it’s a specialized drive cable that will drive in both directions, the problem is they only deal with trade sales, won’t give out samples and have a minimum order amount, I forget what this is but it’s in the hundreds of pounds. Not to say that we could order and split it up around the country ! Regarding springs, yes I believe Freeland have fitted a spring that would cope with the largest scope likely to be fitted to the stand, therefore once you remove the standard screw and replace the with a drive cable you will need to balance the spring to the scope, if you remove the standard spring measure OD and wire size, the go on eBay and match up a lighter option, this worked for me with a little trial and error, you will need to cut the new spring down possibly with a grinder. Hope this is helpful and makes sense. Best Regards Jerry

🤣 Is that like ‘Not The Nine O’Clock News’? Should I rebrand as above 🤣

The Membership is definitely the "first defence" but I try to do whatever possible to protect and keep things running smoothly

That'll learn me to check the copy and paste! Should be £1200 or near(ish) offer. No offers of a shilling, dead mouse, ball of string or champion whippet please!

Many thanks, you might get them quicker at a local hardware store

Not if the paperwork is done correctly and the goods are of EU preferential origin - and stated as such on the invoice. But Parcelforce get this wrong frequently and have been stealing money for UK Gov for the last few years. But they will be subject to UK VAT at the standard rate.

Not sure if you only want 2nd hand, But new at Intershoot....https://www.intershoot.co.uk/product/anschutz-firing-pin-spring-assembly-1807-12/

I've seen far older threads revived, and with less relevance. Photos of classics like the Unique T2000 never go amiss in my book.

Not to mention the racin' pigeons! Me farrrrther is from Huddersfield and he would gi'me a right clip round t'earhole if he saw this!

*ahem* I'm not interested myself, but other people might be wondering "near offer to what?"... unless one of the numbers is missing a £ symbol, in which case as a Yorkshireman I'd assume it to be £.308

Cheers. I’m in central Scotland. Scott

Yes. KK300. Anatomic Stock. It's got a Starik Tube that comes with it.

Thanks everyone for all your excellent advice, most helpful indeed - having deleted a load of posts in the For Sale forum I was able to post my new item, and have freed up loads of space🤙 Happy Bunny 😀

Hi all- as Christmas approaches, you may be considering a fine .22 target rifle to meet your needs. After years of great service, am putting up my Walther KK300 for sale. Serviced last year and in prime condition- comes with the makers case, sights, MEC buttplate, etc. 18mm foresight tunnel. Also added are adjustable aperture rear sight with colour filters. I also have a few foresight elements- will be included. I’ll be posting it on the usual web fora, thought I’d offer it here first. Looking for £2,200 ONO. Let me know if you’re interested and have a spare FAC slot. I'm in London, can RFD at buyers cost. Happy Christmas

The stock is the older sinter-cast 2313. A 2018 Precise is the newer type machined from solid.

Hello Colin No, not able to get one and no one has any stock. Only seems to be stocked in Europe..... I assumed that a male thread was on the other side that you cannot see, Also think that the pointers looked a bit vulnerable to damage...

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.

I’ve got a pair of Kurt Thune Boots available. Size 10-11UK Well used, but taken care of and in pretty good condition. Looking for £30 + £6p&p PM me if interested

Hi is the pistol still for sale thanks.

I think all Anschutz rear dovetails are 11mm, it's just the front that are different on the pre 19xx series 1 - 1.5mm @ 50m is as good as sights get, the only other option is the Spy BR which does about 0.5mm/click I believe. Another option might be a long Starik tube and increase the sight radius if that doesn't break any rules
