  1. 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
  2. I have a Keppeler 6mmBR 300 mt rifle for sale, Mint condition. Details in Sale section "Keppeler 6mmBR 300 mt Rifle" its now 3 pages back. Have Fun Robin
  3. To late, I've decided to keep this very special rifle, so withdrawn......... unless some one persuasive contacts me quickly! Have Fun Robin
  4. 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
  5. 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. £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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. Thanks Colin Perfect, we are going to Bisley for 300 mt next week end! Have Fun Robin
  12. 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
  13. Thanks now Sorted!! Have Fun Robin
  14. As above anyone have a spare 0.3 eagle eye 22 mm, ideally a crystal, but the ordinary one will do. Have Fun Robin
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. Now sold! Thanks Robin
  18. 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
  19. This is a new built rifle, with a new just run in Bartlein barrel, (any one here tried to order a new Bartlein, they are on a year waiting list!!), it comes with two sets of sights and two triggers making it eligible (and very competitive), for 300 mt, TR, bench rest, F class, even plinking!! If you are looking at going into any of the full bore disciplines this is a perfect and competitive rifle, for any one new or experienced. Just buy an Anschutz adapter and you can also put your .22rf Annie in the same stock, one rifle for all your shooting! The parts alone, barrel, stock, sights, butt plate, total a lot more than I'm asking! I was asking £2500, I've now built my bucket list rifle, and this is cluttering up my cabinet, the first offer of £2000 gets it, or in fact any sensible offer? email me on robin.carter80@ntlworld.com for more detail pics. Have Fun Robin
  20. Its not a 300mt rifle as such, That's the stock they supplied them with when they were sold in the UK as a TR,and at that time, late 70's and 80's thumb holes were illegal in TR, they also came with the 1407 stock, they were technically Standard rifles with out a mag, in 7.62 X 51, a great action, I knew several people who had those in their day shooting TR, , and they shot very well indeed, I think Andrew Tucker used one for while, that looks like its got a more modern stainless barrel, a very good cheap buy for some one! Have Fun Merry Xmas Robin
  21. The pressure is now off, after a dramatic modification to improve the weight distribution on her rifle, the wife is now happy with it! BUT, I do fancy building another full bore special in that stock, so if any one has a KK500 Alutec stock only, I'm interested and it will keep me amused over winter! Have Fun Robin
  22. Here we go again, I got one (new!) and built my special rifle, but, my big mistake, I let the wife try it, now she wants one!! Does any one have a Walther KK500 Alutec stock only please! I really don't want to have to buy another new one!!! robin.carter80@ntlworld.com Have Fun Robin
  23. Offers? Have Fun Robin
  24. Andrew Both the wife and I have used Walther's with tubes for years and they are the same screw used on KK300's and KK500's tubes. And I hold spares (with our tubes), I will have spares, usually stainless pointed ones, they locate in the location indent just the same, just PM me your address, and I'll send you a set. I get them from my local fastener company and they cost pennies, I use them on other things so I always have a stock And the next question I'll answer before you ask! Do they strip? The last person that asked that, having just bought his new KK500 and was concerned, I said no of course not, not if they are done up carefully and with just a sensible pinch. Then a week later my wife stripped both screws on her KK500 and she's had it for 8 years, and a KK 300 before, and a girl we work with, did hers on her KK300 the same week!!!! Strong women huh!!!!! But, its simple to then tap out to 5 mm, which also fit the location indent, and yes I hold those 5 mm grub screws as well! Have Fun Robin
  25. And..... the NRA 300 mt free rifle championships, at Bisley this week, has just been won with a .223 rifle, different make, but same configuration barrel and twist, and load, etc, built by the owner after seeing and trying this one!!! Sensible offers? Have Fun Robin
