Making Up a Useable No.4 Sniper - Part 1 (by Peter Laidler) (click here)

As Peter says …. "This series will describe a reasonably accurate and passable way of making up a useable No4 sniper from a pile of repro bits. Not a fake or means of ripping anyone off, but just a useable replica.

Article Extract .....

If you’re about to embark on making yourself a repro No4 sniper, then this is where we start. Firstly, by now, you should have yourself a bracket, a set of pads and most importantly, a telescope.

There’s something else you’ll need before you start. It’s a little cradle thingy so that you can rotate the telescope. On the basis that one picture describes a thousand words, the photographs here show something that will do the job as well as anything. This was knocked up by me in 10 minutes using two bits of plastic sheet, cut with a hacksaw and screwed to the end of a bit of wood. No measurements needed because the telescope shows it all in proportion and the two ‘vee’s hold the telescope in position while you roll it.

As with reading any kind of article, whether it be traditional paper magazine based, or in this case an electronic format, it's sometime difficult to gauge the reader's interest level. Peter has requested that if anyone has any questions on his current series of articles, comments or additions for inclusion in his articles under the "Collectors Comments and Feedback" section of the MKL article, or ideas for future topics, that they please leave feedback for him in the appropriate announcement thread.

Badger
