Thanks, That thumbnail is exactly what I needed. Looks like I may have to buy a new can of powder. Thanks Again :thup:
That's pretty darned good shooting. 39-40 gr. is close to max I'm thinking, yes/no ??? What would be your starting load ? Thanks, Jack
Thanks for the tip, I think I'll give IMR4350 a try starting with 303 British - 215 grain loads load data. I have a can of IMR4350 on the shelf that I have had good results with in the past. Not...
Does anyone have any experience reloading or pet loads that they would be willing to share for 215 gr. Woodleigh bullets ? There is no mention of 215 gr. loads in the books I have. I have found some...
I'll have to talk to some of our local gunsmiths. I know what I can and can not do. Thanks, Jack
Thanks Peter, I found one of your articles on how to repair the flash hider. I'm not to sure I want to try it myself. Last thing I want is a messed up rifle. Where would I find Morse pins ? Jack
That's what I thought " Very Weird" I don't shoot it very often, more of a wall hanger than anything. Looks like it's a trip to the gunsmith. :ugh:
I noticed the front sight of my LE#5 was cocked over about 7 or 8 degrees to the left :eek: It is all original as far as I can tell. I could move it by hand with some difficulty but it does move...
Hi All. I came across this Parker Hale site and found it very interesting. Most of you have likely seen it but, I thouht I would pass it along for whatever it's worth....

First let me say "Thank You" for the info. :thup: It's always good to hear what others have had good success with. It seems like it is always getting harder to find a good variety of bullets and...
I was wondering if anyone would like to share their favorite loads for this Old Warrior ??? I have four reloading manuals and four different powders that are suitable, but would like to know, what...
No luck finding Ceramic paint. I have a lead on a product called " Bullet Proof Coating " Semi gloss and very tough. Lot of 4 wheelers use it on frames and such. Jack PS. Went to see about getting...
Now that sounds interesting. It's just a couple barrel bands. The waiting for parts etc. that's driving me :madsmile: If it doesn't work, I can just strip it and try the next on the list. ...
I am restoring a British #4 mk1 and I have finally found the top and center barrel band. Problem is the finish is badly worn. I remember hearing about a spray paint that is close to the suncorite...
No it won't fit the #5. It only fits the sporter stock. That's why I am thinking it was fabricated for that stock. It was a Santa Fe conversion.
:lol: I must be lucky. Last night I started to shave the groove down, but with no results. This morning I saw your post and tried a band off a #5 and it fits like a Glove. :super: Albeit, It is...
One of my problems is spare parts. I just remembered last night that I need a front band. Who sells these parts now a day's ? As far as the fore arm goes, I'll just have to shave the groove down. :( ...
The fore arm came from Numrich Arms. It was very dirty but new, looked like it had been laying in a bin for years Origin is anyone's guess. I'll get some more pictures later, Got to Go take the dogs...
I bought a #4 Sporter awhile ago and decided to restore it. I got a new forend and some other parts that I needed. I finally started to put it back together tonight. :eek: Something is Wrong and I am...
I would of left it in the Home Brew longer, but seeing as it had stain in it as well as being only 1" deep I had to keep turning and brushing it. I finally said enough at 2:30 am. "Got to Go" to bed...
After about 6 hours of soaking in my warm Home Brew This is what it looks like the next day. I think the cheek piece is a bit dark, but overall I am happy. The pictures cast some odd shadows that...
I applied another two coats of Cherry stain and decided that's close enough, I have run out of patients. Now it's into the bath with my Home Brew. I know it's supposed to have BLO, but like I said in...
I have been trying a few different things to get my front walnut hand guard to match the rest of my walnut stained Beech stock. The Birchwood Casey walnut stain made the hand guard way to dark, so I...
