Thanks, I thought they were Tucker, but regardless, that's what I want! Any one have one in good condition? Have fun Robin

Nothing???? Every one had them only 50 years ago, I have one, and want another, don't tell me mine is the only one left!!! Have Fun Robin

I'm after one of the old style 1970's Tucker scope stands, they are two leg and a post, all one unit, are folding, have a universal knuckle on the top. They have Vee cradle with 5 springs making the scope clamp, and were generally crinkle finish black. Everyone had them 50 years ago, so there must be dozens about! Have Fun Robin

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

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

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

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

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

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

To late, I've decided to keep this very special rifle, so withdrawn......... unless some one persuasive contacts me quickly! Have Fun Robin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks Colin Perfect, we are going to Bisley for 300 mt next week end! Have Fun Robin

Thanks Colin Yes I have one coming now, BUT if you have a spare it would be much appreciated, as I'm initially changing my small bore one, but yes please, as I also want to change from the 0.5 to a 0.3 on my 300 mt sight as well. I've been testing and its been difficult finding the compromise from a better picture with the 0.5, and the blur problem I get when my eyes tire which is less with the 0.3 shooting 60 shot matches. Its a b****r getting old! Have Fun Robin

Thanks now Sorted!! Have Fun Robin

As above anyone have a spare 0.3 eagle eye 22 mm, ideally a crystal, but the ordinary one will do. Have Fun Robin

John Difficult to accurately assess when its not in front of you, but that sounds like its rim thickness on the snap caps, there is a mania with some people for setting head space down as tight as it can go, so maybe that's been done in the past by a previous owner. Walthers have always set that to work on a range of ammo, and having had them from GX1's (same action as yours) though KK300's, and now KK500's, and they shoot superbly with the factory setting with most good ammo, we have always used RWS R50, and generally unless a special request Walther testing is done with it. Have Fun Robin

Hi John, No no else has asked so I will!!! Why do you want a firing pin just for dry firing? Sounds like a lot of hassle changing it just to dry fire? And then presumably change back to the "shooting one"? Just use the normal bolt and pin for dry firing, and use snap caps, or empty cases to protect the pin. Also KK Match parts are are as rare as rocking horse excrement! Have Fun Robin

Now sold! Thanks Robin

Final chance!!! This rifle is eligible for TR with the spare TR sight and trigger it comes with, and is also competitive in 300 mt with the Gehmann sight and the Bix'n Andy trigger, if you want to just shoot, any thing else its eligible even F class or non comp fun shooting. Its as new, yes, the gold dust rare, Bartlein barrel is only just run in!! Like most .223 rem calibre rifles its a joy to shoot. Final silly price, £1850, a fraction of what it cost to build with all top level components, its cluttering up my cabinet!! If you are interested I'll take it to Bisley on the 28th April! robin.carter80@ntlworld.com Have Fun Robin
