Making Up a Useable No.4 Sniper - Part 4 (by Peter Laidler)

[bow]

Thanks Captain for this useful work. I'm planning to build my No.4 T replica. Found scope and mounts plus wooden cheeckpiece now i must fully understand your articles. Where could i find the tools to tap the receiver? Could i make them using a conventional iron milling cutter?

Hello,
I've just joined the forum and have a No 32 Mk II scope and repro mounts. I just missed out on a 4T with pads and cheeck piece but nothing else a couple of months ago and was on the point of selling the scope. However I have now been offered a rifle with pads so want to get started. I've managed the V frame but have hit a problem.
Are the lead screw locking nuts the ones in the centre of the turrets or are they the collars with the slots in them? ?
In either case where do I get the tools to move them?
Thanks
Robert
UPDATE. Have found the tool on NUMRICH so have ordered kit with some other parts for my broken Winchester 94AE. Hopefully they'll arrive soon and I can start on the scope.
