I have for sale one MEC I trigger as per attached photo. The trigger will fit all Anschutz size trigger rails. The angled top allows the trigger to be positioned nearer to the rear if required. Very adjustable, and comes with allen key for adjustments to be made. A great bit of kit. New, they are now £65. I am looking for £40 to include postage .

Michelle, how long did you live in Zummerzet. Oiy be thinking you turned turnip. Dont forget Tim, there are sites on the web where you can translate languages, not sure about dialects though. Be off with ya now. J

Thank you for that Professor Tim. I checked mine last night and the tube does turn without altering the bubble as I stated, but your right, it does sit on a collar, but I thought only us experts would need to know that Tim! And yes, the bore of the tube is 18mm. I would hazard at a guess though that the bore of an 18mm sight is less than 18mm as inserts for these are much smaller than for a 22mm (I think) Jonty

If I remember correctly, the bubble attaches to the sight body NOT the tube that slides through the centre. I have never had any movement of the bubble when moving from 50 to 100 and back to 50yds. After shooting at 50 yds and rotating the tube 180 degree to shoot at 100 yds I am always perfectly zeroed in the bull. When turning the sight, you need to undo the fastening ring a number of turns to enable the tube part to slide rearwards so that it clears the locating lug, then simply re tighten the ring when it re engages the lug and then continue shooting bulls!

Do they only fit the Freeland stand? Will they fit the more preferred Tucker stand? Jonty

Sorry SRC, Think I will pass on that. Already put the money back under the bed! Jonty

I will have it SRC. No idea what it is, no idea what you want for it, but I will pay, but no idea when you will get paid. But I will! Jonty

Why Vostok? seems a strange choice unless you are intending to entertain some Cossacks! I shot a Vostok Strella in the early 70's ( OK I was one year old) It was tremendously heavy and had the two triggers as it was a 'hair trigger'. It put me off shooting for 30 years. I'm sure someone would love to get rid of one though! In my view they are the equivalent of the old Moscavich (Not sure of the spelling) Russian car compared to an Audi. There is one on Guntrader and a couple on Gunstar for sale. Jonty

No No No, we're not like that. It is also untrue that 50p pieces have edges so you can get them out of a Yorkshiremans hand with a spanner. I will check under the bed to see how many half crowns I have left from my last wage. Bobski, I have sent you a PM. Jonty

Correct. Hope you find the right thing. Regards Jonty

Do I detect that your issue is with not being able to see the sight diagram (The black bull area) very well, and the suggestion to you was that something to magnify the diagram may help? If I am correct, you may be wanting what is now called a sight correction lens, or as we used to say a magnifier' on the rear sight. These are products that you can 'zoom' in and out to improve your sight picture (If you know what I mean) As Tim says, the choices of what you can get in a rear sight screw in eyepiece are endless, and you need to know exactly what product you are wanting, or you will end up with something you did'nt want. Did you know, there are more people live in Yorkshire than there are in Scotland! Viva la Yorkie Home Rule. Me an Ms Sturgean have a plan. You South Yorks heathens will need to apply for a Special Dispensation when Wakefield becomes the new London. Jonty

Personal choice Tim, probably why we have Gemini's. Harking back to what I said a short while ago, and others commented, some people can shoot like hell with a BSA Martini! I dont dispute some have achieved great results with the Bleiker wooden stock, but they would probably have done the same with a piece of 4X2 machined to take an action, if you know what I mean! There is a guy at our club, only in his 30's who for personal reasons has only shot once or maybe twice a year. When he can get down to the club, he invariably shoots a 99 then has to go. Shoots with a 1913 in a wood stock. I finally managed to shoot a 93 on a comp card this week, THREE eights and a nine. Maybe clay pigeon is calling? (But not yet) Think I might plane up a bit of 4x2 tomorrow. What work is required to enable a Bleiker to accept a different make barrel and action? G&E's will take other actions, but my Gemini will only take a Bleiker. I know Squishy gave some guidance about this, but if I remember correctly, it was the height of the trigger in situ that was the problem. Jonty J

Sticking my neck out, I think Bleiker is renowned for his barrel and actions, not his stocks. Is there anyone on here who thinks they are the bees knees? All Bleikers seem to be stuck into something else, me included. A bit like the Triton motorbike, Triumph engine bunged into a Norton frame. best of both worlds. Jonts

They are called 'Countersunk bolts/screws'. You will need the thread diameter which will be in millimetres and the overall length including the head and the length of the thread alone. Do NOT overtighten them. This is why they look in poor condition. Jonty

My shooting colleague who is a teetcher says its Bl'eye'ker like you say James. I rang them a while back and Im sure the secretary called him that. I may have a few other names for them. Jonty

Nah, Its the way they teach the young un's in skool nowadays, spell it as it sounds, just dont put it on eBay spelling it like that as you won't get many 'viewers and bidders'! Jonty

Hmmmm. Im not sure, but I think that was one of my old stocks. It was painted Renault blue by the previous owner. I think it was mentioned on here on another topic about how much stocks are devalued when someone paints them. Its usually to hide something nasty in my experience. And its at the end of the world in scotland. Maybe Alex Salmond could drop it off on his way to Parliament. Jonty

Try it on eBay with a Buy it now of £250 and select to take Best Offer. Remember there is a 10% selling fee though. You can of course advertise it on here with a similar selling price. J

Yes, the Red ones are a thing of beauty, a gorgeous deep red, mine goes perfect with my eyes. Some of them are less appealing. I saw one that was 'purple splash' it had spits and blobs of varying colour over the base purple. Maybe Picasso shot smallbore. J

BUMP Still looking. Any ideas or information about one welcome. Jonty

Sorry, its been sold elsewhere. Regards Jonty

The best test, in my opinion, is to lay it down flat, fastened, and take measurements from side to side. and top to bottom etc. You can always check your own item of shooting or indeed clothing against these measurements. At least it will put you somewhere near your fitting. Jonty

Ive not seen a TecHro in the flesh. The thing about the 'Armadillo' (4760) is that G&E made an almost identical copy of it, and Anschutz have re-introduced an updated version, so there must be strong demand for them. I like the 4765 too, but my favourite has to be the MEC Free position. Easy to use and looks great. Trouble is, again, not many come up second hand. try before before you buy is my advice. Jonty

Have you had a good try with one? I use one on my FR703, but to be honest, I can't say its much better than a MEC Freeposition and similar ones. Before you 'invest' your hard earned dosh, I would suggest giving one a good try. They rarely come up, and you may, if you really desire one, have to buy new. At least, you'd get the colour you like.
