Making Up a Useable No.4 Sniper - Part 3 (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 .....

Up to this part in our project, you’ll have a properly set-up telescope in a bracket, a front pad screwed on to the rifle, but NOT permanently fixed quite yet and a bracket that fits to the front pad where the graticle swings up and down right across the point on which the bore is bore sighted. This has fixed the left – right deflection. What we want to do next is equally important. We need to fix the REAR pad between the bracket and the body, EXACTLY in such a position that it allows the bevel of the bracket to fit solidly and firmly against the corresponding bevel of the pad. This will fix the up and down movement of the bracket. Is it all making sense now?

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

Peter has added a personal request in regards to this 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.

So, after reading any of the parts in the series up to this point, members are requested to post you questions here in this thread for Part 3, or the appropriate announcement thread for Part's 1 and 2.

Regards,
Badger
