Stroke of Luck- New Toy

**Son** · 07-15-2013 10:48 AM

Last week I had the good luck to be offered a Parker Hiscock magazine. I've seen a couple come and go over the years, and scoring one had been high on my list ever since I found out about them early in my serious collecting days.
I couldn't say no, and today it arrived. Very happy with it. It is complete, in v good condition with components all matching numbers. I can't wait to get it to the Small Bore range and try it for myself. I fitted it up to the Patt14 No1 .22 Trainer for a pic earlier.

Cross off one more Holy Grail

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

does the Parker hiscock mag work in a regular No.2 Mk 4 .22LR or does it have to have a specific bolthead arrangement?

No, the underside of the bolthead needs to be beveled.

I found even with the correct bolt head they don't cycle smoothly.

**newcastle** · 07-17-2013 06:20 PM

theoretically though, the beveling of a standard .22 Pattern 14 trainer bolthead should make it work.

**Brian B** · 07-17-2013 06:26 PM

Anyone have drawings on the appropriate location and angle for the beveling of the bolt head? I have a complete mag and would like to try it in a rifle if I could modify a spare bolthead.

Thanks,

Brian B
