High rings will work (26mm RAHS4, or one inch RAHS3), but the recoil stud/s will have to be removed. They'll be much easier to obtain than the one piece mount. Otherwise, you might be waiting for a...

The thing is, what you've said literally applies to any firearm. It's not a factor of the design, but rather the design of the production and tolerancing, because if you control the factors relating...

I'm curious about that part, it just doesn't really make sense insofar as, is it really the production facility that won over the AI, because design wise, there's nothing special between the two that...

That shouldn't be a problem as the flat cocking piece is the solution to make these adjustable triggers work. It's aftermarket triggers with military cocking pieces where you get problems.

That's precisely why I didn't complete it.

I have a spare rear sight, do you want CAD files for it? Would be easy for me to draw it up in solidworks.

There's not that many parts in it, rather basic design.

I'd already started doing the...

I know for a fact that some were sent to Australia, and were used in trials. My understanding of those examples was that they were new rifles when they arrived here, and unissued as the rifle was...

The main physical variations with M98 actions are in those three aspects, ring diameter came in either large or small, where large had a 1.410" diameter, while small ring had 1.300" diameter....

The really short history of interwar rifle production in Poland is that after the first world war, Poland was given all the equipment and machinery from the Danzig factory, which was promptly...

That crossed swords stamp is related to the Birmingham Proof House, it dates and identifies the inspector who did the proofing.

This link should clear it up on how to date the proof;
Proof Date...

Maybe I should have added that I am a mechanical engineer. I understand what you're saying but some detail would be more useful in explaining the issue.

I've seen other posts where you've provided...

To answer that part, no they didn't. The spring is quite strong. It's a fairly easy thing to rectify, basically the free length of the spring has to be reduced. Gotta get some music wire and get...

Really nice article, much appreciated for doing the work and submitting this.

I'm glad I got my M85. While there are certain aspects that I find not very impressive, it's a great collectors rifle....

It looks to be a PH sling. One of the brochures shown elsewhere show a wooden M85 with that sling.

M85's didn't come with a sling, so there isn't one which is correct. So you can pretty much do...

I can second that. Being a member of a fullbore club at the moment, I've dabbled in the history of this stuff. What I've been told is that the club shooters resisted moving to the SMLE for as long as...

Here's pics of the brochure. If you want PM me your email details and I can email you higher resolution pictures. They won't be brilliant because they're being done on my phone, so photo quality...

If you look at the case pic I put up, that's, as far as I know, what comes with M85's (Apart from the test group print out, which I've seen of other rifles, but I don't have). There should be an...

Three of them, nice stuff. If I could, I'd like to have one of each camo pattern, problem is there's 4 camo patterns and one nato green one. Too many to find, and I've never seen pictures of the...

Thanks for the response, but one thing about that part. I have a P-H 1200 sporter, which I'm quite sure is with a santa barbara action and bolt, and the bolt is quite different to the M85 bolt. My...

I stumbled across this forum discussing M85's recently, so I thought I'd show my one.
