  1. The 300 mt season starts this weekend, and a load more dates, yipee! We are both shooting with .223 so this is just our spare rifle now, and pining away un used in our security, so its available for sale, at this silly price, hell, there's £700 of sights on it, its worth more than I'm asking for the bits, and its mint! So its back on the market for a limited while, last chance, if its not sold I'll re barrel it in 7.62, and use it for TR! Have Fun Robin
  2. Ian, They are a great rifle, both I and my wife had them when they were new, and we've stuck with Walther's ever since through KK300's to KK500's now. They are beautifully made, the stocks are a really good shape, all are nice grain Walnut, good balance, and very accurate and reliable, good trigger, and action, a well looked after one even now will out shine any Anschutz, yes we are biased! But that's true! This is easily worth the cost, plus the RFD or the cost of fuel for a drive there and back! Have Fun Robin
  3. The only other use of graduated gauges I've seen in the past was to help decide if a hole was a single or more shots. Have Fun Robin
  4. Normally once a shot is scored and if required, be gauged (with the standard correct gauge), and if so, should always be marked as such, and it is good practice that shot holes should not be re gauged! Only previously un guaged shots should be guaged in the event of a protest, it is not a means of settling ties. There are various means of settling ties, and its not by re qauging! As for the NSRA not having sets of gauges..... are we surprised? Have Fun Robin
  5. Its the early round action (70's?) Grunig and Elmiger action, most early ones were 300 mt actions, most single shot, most with Anschutz trigger (no idea what this one is!), can be barreled for most "big case" calibres, such as 7.62 (.308), 6mmBR, 6.5 as this one, etc, good action. Have Fun Robin
  6. Tim Looks like from a KK200 or 300, I think its a machined part, so it pushes up and and pulls down, so not just a thread with a wheel on, and unlikely any one will have a spare, but you never know!! Your best bet is to email Walther in Ulm, For Sports Services, and try there, contact from their website. Would not be that difficult to make, if you can get a sample to copy. Best of luck Robin
  7. To late, I've decided to keep this very special rifle, so withdrawn......... unless some one persuasive contacts me quickly! Have Fun Robin
  8. And....... I have 400 rounds of custom hand loaded match ammo with this rifle, and I'll throw in a 100 rounds free, that £250 worth!! Have Fun Robin
  9. As stated above, This is a complete outfit, Keppeler 6 mm br rifle, this was my wife's 300 mt action, she has now switched to a .223 Rem calibre so this is now surplus to requirements and available. A well shooting and very pretty rifle. It is the lighter square Keppeler 6 mmBR action (can be rebarreled for 7.62), it has an Anschutz free trigger, was custom built for us in 2012 and now rebarreled with a Bartlein 1 in 8 twist barrel, 600 mm (24 in's) long, and comes with a Keppeler 4" extension barrel tube. The barrel has had a logged 850 rounds. Was last shot in anger at the Austrian Championships in 2017, and scored 594 ex 600, since, only rarely used as we have gone over to .223, then lock down, and the occasional shoot on our TR range as our spare rifle. The stock is a Keppeler hybrid KO5/09 being a slimline fore end, finished in polished alloy and grey, with a Walther KK300 grip. Rear sight is a Walther Insight-Out, with a Centra colour filter iris, front sight is a Centra Cube in 22 mm. It comes with Centra sight raiser blocks, and grey mirage band. The Butt plate is a Walther KK200 pattern, as new, one of the last ones made! All fully adjustable. The cheek piece is my special alloy, folding type with an ebony wood flat top, all full adjustable. corrected now, I thought it was walnut, too many rifles, huh! But checked the pics and its ebony!!! Done because the colour matched better, (sad old fart!) It is a mint condition 300 mt rifle, but is also ideal as an F class or bench rest rifle in 6 mm br calibre, or if re barreled in 7.62 a stunning TR rifle! £1800 or very near offer. I can't suss out the picture reducer, but if you email me on robin.carter80@ntlworld.com I can send you pictures. Have Fun Robin
  10. Nigel In coaching standing air rifle we advise the ideal fore sight size with a standard barrel length is 4.5, and don't go below that until you can shoot a 90 average. Initially you can go up to 5.00 but you'll find the ideal is 4.5, and many top level standing shooters use 4.5 or close, through out their careers. If you are stuck for one, just run a 4.5 drill through the plastic one they come with. PS. I've just checked, and I have a plastic one (was 4.00) that I had all ready drilled out to 4.5, if you email me your address you can have it free, try it, if you like it and want a better one, then you can buy a Hi End knowing the actual size you want, with out having to try several, and they are £25 each! robin.carter80@ntlworld.com Best of luck Have Fun Robin
  11. Thanks Iain Yes, well on the mend thanks, I made things for very many years with hand tools, and a Wolf Sapphire that I had for my 21st birthday, ahem... just a few years ago now, its deeply satisfying. I do the same things now with a lathe and a mill, just easier and quicker! If you have any problems let me know, I'm now allowed back in my workshop! Have Fun Robin
  12. Iain Few about as any spare are snapped up by the 3P people! BUT, when I built my KK 500 stocked rifle with a .223 Rem action for 300 mt I made my own rods in the same size material but to handle full bore recoil, and mounted more locked into the butt plate, sadly the originals have already gone to a new home, but it was quite simple and if you are interested in making some I can probably find where I got the materials from, silver steel rods, and stainless threaded rod (may have some, but don't think so?), if you make them then they can be any length you wanted, I also made an adjuster wheel. I'm now recovering from an illness so I can't make some for you, but it was quite simple, and have pics and can tell you how and where to get the materials from. emails me on robin.carter80@ntlworld.com Have Fun Robin
  13. Yorky, I do have a very special" Dolphin stock, inlet for a Barnard P. It was the original slimmer pattern Dolphin TR stock that I modified, to mirror more my KK500 small bore, I shortened the fore end, (the originals are quite long) and also lightened and shortened the rear butt end, and altered so I could bolt in an adjustable Walther butt plate. I also removed the Dolphin trigger guard, and I used a Walther KK500 trigger guard, modded to fit. The cheek piece mount and height adjuster is Dolphin. The stock is finished in high polished alloy with the rear and some trim orange. I used it with a KK500 grip. I used it to develop the Barnard P for 300 mts in .223 Remington with a Bix 'n Andy Trigger which is more rear ward on the Barnard. Once we discovered the performance for 300 mts with the Barnard P in .223 Rem, I built one .223 rem Barnard P for my wife in her Keppeler stock, and one for me in a KK 500 stock so this stock is redundant. It is stock only, complete with Dolphin rear stock length adjustment, and butt plate mount, Dolphin cheek piece mount, and height adjuster, KK500 trigger guard, NO pistol grip, cheek piece, or butt plate. Although I have no use for it, I'm not sure I want to sell it, but If you are interested email me on robin.carter80@ntlworld.com and I'll send you pictures from when i had the Barnard in it. If its then of interest Maybe we can discuss. Have Fun Robin
  14. Hi, I'm looking for 22 mm High ends, Ideally Crystal's , but ordinary ones will do at a pinch, any thickness, dia 4.4, 4.5? Have fun Robin
  15. Thanks Colin Perfect, we are going to Bisley for 300 mt next week end! Have Fun Robin
