John

Ah, with you, that makes much more sense :madsmile:

BSA example younger than 1963?

Are you referring to the more recent straight pull conversions John?

Looks like I have the latest so far - 1960 A2873

Is there anyone in the UK that knows their way round fixing ACOG's?

A shooting club acquaintance has an ACOG that has gone awry (elevation) and needs someone to fix it

Thanks in advance :)

Glad I got one from you about 8 years ago Brian! :thup:

I think that Kev may have answered the original question.

Once you have a drawing of what you want, a doddle to turn up a spacer and, if required, a bolt on the lathe (assuming you know what...

Ok Patrick, I will happily defer to you on this one ;) :lol:

My experience? My dad was a toolmaker and watch repairer and taught me much, and I started my electronics and engineering apprenticeship with Marconi way back in 1969. After school I worked in a...

It isn't a matter of how much torque is put on it, it is just bad engineering practice, and an easy way to ruin a thread, which wouldn't be a good outcome on an internal thread.

And mixing BA and...

Bruce, that's not actually correct.

1BA is 88.333% of 0BA diameter, 2BA is 88.679% of 1BA diameter, etc - and it doesn't follow in a linear scale on pitch either.

BA is a weird thread, as...

My copy has arrived.......but has to go back. The sender ripped the dust cover when sliding it in the cardboard packaging :rolleyes:

Ah, been wating for that to come out, ordered, thanks Roy!

Thanks chaps for the replies so far, John, replied to your PM :thup:

Thanks for that, unfortunately they are closed.

I have made enquiries with the REME museum, but they are also closed and only responding remotely, they only have access to online material, and...

Can anyone help please:

I am looking for the AESP (Army Equipment Support Publication) for modifications to the SA80 family of rifles - or, Rifle, 5.56 mm, L85A1/Machine gun L86A1/5.56 mm Rifle...

What default browser are you using? Google?

I had problems in the past accessing eBay via Google as the default browser, changed my eBay access to being via MSN, no further issues.

Was just teasing ;)

So out of curiosity, I wonder how many No 8's are already/still in private hands in the UK?

I have one, acquired it in 2018.

I first shot one around 1967/8 whilst in the Army and Air Cadets, so...

Well, if we are being pedantic, I must be the pedant's pedant - the correct spelling is verdigris :madsmile:

He's not that unlucky, he's survived potentially being vapourised three times! :lol:

Great sales pitch for a firework store, a mega display :lol:

I really cannot imagine who you might be talking about Peter :lol:

I will be up for a copy of the book when it is reprinted! :thup:

Could they be 10-32 UNF?

BSF threadform is 55 degree angle, BA is 47.5 degrees, and UNF is 60 degrees, which is probably where the issue is.

Can you get a thread gauge on it to check (accepting...
