Thanks for all the replies. The firing pin is not a P-14 pin. Protrusion measures .081 and that is the problem I believe. The tip of the pin is rounded as it should be, but it has a small groove in...

I have a fellows P-17 (BSA factory sporterized) that is piercing primers (ammo is Hornady Superperformance 165 GMX) Anyone know the correct maximum firing pin protrusion for the P-17?
Fired brass...

I have the twin to your scope. A fellow who repairs these has told me that mine is a early 50's vintage. You don't need to loosen the screws to adjust W&E on mine. reticle is not constantly centered,...

Roy,

I think you are referring to the SWEDISH M-96. Try the Mauser thread for more info on your M-96.

RCS,

I just happen to have a 256 Newton, built on a BSA Monarch action. My brother has the 30 Newton, built on a Husqvarna Mauser action.

FP;

I will check with CP to see if they still do postage collect. If not, we will work something out. If you can, send a picture of that Monte Carlo stock, might be something to consider for the...

FP:

Stock is completely intact, so aside from the grinding/sanding on it (it has been thinned in the grip area, mostly) it is certainly a great candidate for patterning off. Is it alright to send...

Flying Pig;
I bought a stock this weekend, for the furniture on it. The stock has been gone over with what looks like a circular grinder/sanding disc, in the hopes, I guess, of thinning the wood. I...

Kanterj: apologies for highjacking your thread. Kind of went off topic, here.

I lucked out this weekend, and bought a complete MkIII stock, with nose cap, butt blate, midband, and sling swivels for ..............40 bucks! Also bought a 280 Ross sporter. Sadly a previous owner...

FP,
Well, I got out to the range today and shot my MkIII at 100 metres. Five shots into a group of 2.5" wide, by 1" high. I am very happy with that, considering my near 60 year old eyes. Will do a...

Read a few of the threads on the Drill rifles-the barrel on the rifle I have has NOT been drilled, and there is no DP stamping on the bolt. The stock was painted, as was the magazine floor plate. The...

Are DP rifles safe to shoot, if checked out for head space, etc? I have a P-14 marked as DP. The barrel looks better than a lot of milsurps I have, just wondering if these has any real issues that...

Criterion is supposed to be close to making a run of new, replacement barrels. Lothar Walther does do runs of #4Mk1 replacement barrels. Certainly worth reading the articles Mr Laidler has submitted...

FP, I would be interested in a nosecap, depending of course, on cost. Could you measure the length of your mid band retaining screw?
If this rifle holds what it does at 25M out to 100M, I expect to...

G-11 surplus ammo is around $300 Cdn a case here, if you can find it. I have deprimed a few cases with a sharpened punch, but that is slow process. If I can find Berdan primers, in quantity, I will...

BAR,
My brother served with PPCLI, out of Calgary, I believe. Now serving with the Calgary Highlanders, till January-he turns 60 and I think that is it, for him, and the Forces.
I shot the Mk III...

FP,
I have a rear sling swivel, and mid band. Just missing the screw for the mid-band. I named the wrong front sling swivel, I need the swivel for the nosecap (and the nosecap) and the swivel for...

Thank you for the offer, BAR. Once I find my camera, I will have a go at posting pictures, if I cannot work it out, I will contact you.
Are you ex-CF or British forces? I have been working with the...

I will have to give my hand a try at uploading some pictures of my rifle. It may take a while as I am not really good with the computer stuff, and I also need to find my camera.....buried somewhere...

The front sight blade on my K-31 was aligned with its witness marks, but shot about 2" right at 100 M using G-11 surplus ammo (too bad it is berdan primed.) Used a brass drift to move it, with no...

Flying Pig,

Thanks for the quick turnaround, and putting out a good product, FP.

Now, if I can just find a nose cap, floorplate swivel, and fore end swivel, this old girl of mine will be...

Just received my new wood from Flying Pig. Really well done, and basically a "drop in" fit. Nice straight grain walnut, and it should stain up and finish very nicely.
A big "THANK YOU!" to Flying...

A big thumbs up to you, Andy. These rescue societies can use all the help they can get, and as many "forever homes" as possible for their charges.

Any chance these will be made available in Canada, too?
