    Post Making Up a Useable No.4 Sniper - Part 2 (by Peter Laidler)



    With thanks to Advisory Panelicon member Peter Laidlericon, a new article has been added to the Technical Articles for Milsurp Collectors and Re-loaders (click here).

    Making Up a Useable No.4 Sniper - Part 2 (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 .....

    By now, you should have your centered telescope in its bracket with both drums set to 0. What we’re going to do next is to fit the front pad so that when you tighten up the front thumbscrew, the bracket and therefore the grat will swing up and down EXACTLY across that DAP.

    It’s important that you read, re-read and fully digest these simple instructions over a glass of scotch while the wife is out shopping and the kids are out playing……………


    A body (this time a skeletonised rifle) locked in place on the block.

    Peter has added a personal request within the text of this second part of his series of articles.

    Note:
    If you have any questions or don’t understand something or my instructions are ambiguous then please ask on the forum and NOT by PM (Private Message). That way everyone will get the benefit of the question and answer.

    Regards,
    Badger

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
