Enfield Sniper

"I'll be installing on a existing sniper with holes already drilled."

I see, that should be easy,LOL.

Not sure I see whats funny, but ok.

Oh, its quite funny until you try, then- not so much...

Especially if you are trying to maintain the original exacting specifications- which never quite work out w/ drill bits- they're not precision tools!

ANyone see these before?

No.4(T) Enfield sniper rifle No.32 Scope bracket - eBay (item 120528129934 end time Feb-14-10 13:31:29 PST)

Peter, are you involved with these at all?

[Peter Laidler]

No, nothing to do with me. How I HATE these people who quote me for their own ends without as much as a by-your-leave. It makes my blood boil really! I could say more but I've said enough.

It's nice to know that when I made some complimentary comments about a remanufactured IIW bracket, those comments stayed firmly where they were written and nowhere else. On the forum

Any repro mounts you would recommend, or should I hold out for an original?

If you don't have one you will need to get a sense of humor for this game.

I bought a half dozen of Roger's brackets and four of Rob's IWS brackets and they are here. I bought them in the white s I can finish them properly with Manganese Parkerizing phosphate and Suncorite 259 properly baked on. The problem is finding the time to do them.

Great target MJ, just great. So you shoot those Swiss pos's too?

My junk pile.

Just to clarify, I use Parcolubrite 2 phosphating on the brackets (what Long Branch used) and they are then painted with this: Technical Info -> Zero-Rust Canada : SMJ Products & Services for High Performance Barrier Coat

I've done this to a No4 action that was then rebarreled and the smith who did it was very impressed with how the finish survived the barreling vise and wrench undamaged.

And here I thought it was just patience and some cash.

Actually...I'm looking forward to the challenge.
