DYO 22 Trainer

[muffett.2008]

Can not see that it is a large problem, I made one up a couple of years ago.
As I have a No.2 MkIV the different parts were easy to spot. I managed to pickup a .22 bolthead, cutoff a firing pin, cut an old barrel just in front of the knox, machined and tapped an old .22 barrel and tapped the knox to suit, screwed the new/old barrel, checked headspace, (bugger, had to recut chamber and reseat) back together and test fired.
Trigger pull was ridiculous, required a bit of sear work to lighten but once done was a beauty. Even managed to get away with using the military sights, hold a low blade for 25m and a full blade for 100m.
I remember the first time it was used at the range, Waltzed up to the firing point during a rimfire practice, loaded and prepared to fire, shooters were backing away and clapping hands over ears, PLINK, with the long barrel it was'nt much noisier than an air rifle.
If you want to do it, hook in, boltheads are advertised every so often, the rest is easy, have fun.
