I'm having a look at reloading for my club and had a look back at this post I posted a while ago: Long range .303

A question I do have that may be a silly one:

As far as I know companies such...

There were some standard No1 mk3 with mismatched bolts for £425 which were fairly beaten up.

I don't really know the current market value, I think unfortunately the nice looking woodwork and...

Thank you for the reply Peter.

I'll ask them if they'll let me take the woodwork off, or if they can do it in my presence.

From memory the serial number on the breeching up ring showed no signs...

I'm in the UK if that helps narrow down a value.

Rifle I'm considering is marked as BSA C 2 with no other markings, apart from a serial - which I believe means it was a commercially produced rifle...

I quite like tangents, they make conversations interesting.

I've only ever been on the side that breaks SA80s and gets a bollocking.

In regards to the cover I think they're aiming to replace...

Thanks for the replies.

Would armourers care about matching wood on rifles if possible?

Don't know whether aesthetics were ever taken into account, definitely aren't with the SA80s.

Bolt not matching and no FTR marks. Would a damaged forearm be likely to cause the rifle to be FTRed?

My No4 Mk1* has a drastically lighter (I assume different wood) lower than the rest of the furniture and it has an old serial # sanded down, with a new matching serial # stamped a bit wonkily.

Having read the articles, I have a fair bit of work to do.

Apologies for going over beaten ground when the answers were already there!

Main reason stopping me from moving abroad. One day my home brew will taste less revolting and I'll be off.

Regarding the extra contact at the mid point, I thought one of the main benefits of the...

The quick response to that is that we do not serve beer at room temperature, that's a myth. (That's just to further confuse tourists :P)

We serve proper beer at cellar temperature, which is...

Thanks Alan, I really ought to have checked Peter Laidler's articles before asking. I'll leave the Front Trigger Guard Screw as is, which is locked down.

I'll have a check on the articles...

Not sure this counts as stock fitting as such but I'm planning on taking my No4 mk1* to a 25 metre range to play with the torque setting on the king screw and barrel bands.

I'm not even sure if...

If you're allowed section 5 ammunition for hunting then you're allowed to zero your rifle by target shooting. Doesn't work the other way around.

.308. Has absolutely no type markings but is a fairly standard UK style target rifle.

I imagine that once...

I think it must just be more worn out than I thought. Currently it's more of a fun rifle and one I enjoy for its history so I'll keep it for now and just shoot it to 600.

Need to rebarrel my...

I'm new to this forum but hopefully you all can help me.

I mostly shoot Fullbore Target Rifles to distances of 1000m and I have a No4 Mk 1* to play with when I've finished my normal shooting. It...
