    Great news on the Sterling book. Will there be any additional colour content?

    First range outing

    Here's a quick update.

    Yep. Your Safari is a PH 1000 model. They were made on ex-military receivers. The 1100 and 1200 models were made on the Spanish Santa Barbara commercial receivers without the thumb cut.

    M82 Barrel Drawing

    Hello,

    I just made a quick M82 barrel profile in Solidworks based on the most reliable info I was able to find.

    It looks like quite a few of us have M82 projects on the go.

    Enjoy.

    Canadian C3 barrel length and metal finish

    I'm building a C3 /M82 sniper clone and have found conflicting information on barrel length.
