Indy has a very nice example or this marque with a side pounted low power scope.

After two sessions at my place now he has just started to get the projectiles printing on paper.

Although I must admit that saslex did inform me that Indy did manage to get a shot on a fist size clump of sandstone at 100 metres.

Indy is claiming that one as an aimed and calculated shot.

Spent the after shooting cuppa tea running down M-N as mass produced pieces of military hardware.

Total piss take as it is an impressive rifle with a very impressive baek.

Heh. The one I had was not bad. Not brilliant and certainly not one that they selected for use as a sniper rifle (apparently they'd test them and the pick of the bunch were decked out as sniper rifles) but definitely a nice, albeit long and heavy (I had the rifle, not the carbine), specimen.

OK once again I hope to start another topic in this thread.

Has anyone here had any experience with engraving?

It has been a subject that has facinated me since I first started shooting.

To me the finish on a firearm is a work of art.

Whether it is there for complete functionality or as a means of personaising them to yourself.

I have a mate staying with me at the moment who has offerred to copy all his VHS instructional lectures on the subjects of stockmaking and engraving, to a DVD format. He has also offered me all his engraving tools that he has at his home ( unused).

It is very exciting as said earlier it is something I have been looking into for a while now.

The kit is all hand chasing equipment which again I find floats my boat. I know you can get power tools that do this work but I find a lot of satisfaction doing things the old fashioned way.

Harry ( my mate) was impressed by my attempts at stock making and also with the quality of the finish I have applied to the stock. It was on this that he offered me the instructional tapes and the tools.

We also had a discussion as to how I am going to finish my Remington. We think that rather than go the peeing on the barrel route that I should get in some Laurel Mountain browning and degreasing fluid from the US as this is quick and easy to use and in his expoerience gives a good finish.

Once I learn the engraving I am going to work on the barrel of this rifle.

I fancy marking out the flats of the otagonal barrel with a thin line of gold inlay, then some sort of decoration back towards the receiver.

I'm going to contemplate my navel with regards to this andf earmark it for a future development.

It's true!

Same here mate, mine just has a copy side mount and scope. Real snipers got for like US$1000+
