  1. Since you want to replace an existing barrel and you are looking for a frontsight and rearsight assembly, may I suggest to use same of the removed barrel. If its the same standard model, you would be all set. Greetings, Gunny.
  2. The product used for that method is called Dye-Check. It's a 3part check with a red dye, a remover and a developer. The developer is srayed on and leaves a white powdery coat on which you can see the red dye as it creeps out of the crack. Magnaflux is a different thing all together where you a apply an electrical current and spay on an iron powder.the magnetic field will collect the powder and indicate any cracks I hope this will answer your question.
  3. This trigger looks like the Huber and its available in the USA.
  4. Hi MR1 A terriffic looking mount you have made. It's the lowest I've seen. You barely clear the scope. It tempts me, to make one like it. Do you have a millingmachine, or all made by hand?
  5. No, Weaver does not make a sidemount for either the no.1 or the 4 or 5. But Williams makes a neat one the SM-70 for the No 1 Mk3 and the SM-71 for the flatsiders. They are available fro Brownell's and retails for under $50 with the rings, I think. I haven't installed one yet, but by the looks, it should be pretty straight forward. But again, you have to drill & tap, which should be easy.
  6. I am somewhat new to this forum. Some 15 years ago, long before digital photography, I reworked a P14 to .300 win mag. I used a good barrel from a Model 1917 (30-06). Cut the Threads longer to fit the P14 receiver. Recut the chamber (checking headspace al the time). Left bolthandle as is, same with the safety. Used a magazine box from "Numrich", same as for .375 H&H. Opened the cartrigdewell a little bit and lengthend the follower somewhat to fit the cartrigdes. Shaped the rearbridge like a Remington and installed a Redfield one piece base with a 6X All American scope and put it in a cheap hardwood stock from century arms, when they were still here in Montreal. I wish, I hadn't gotten rid of it. But that how the cookie crumbles sometimes. It shot like a varminter.

    Where To Begin

    Check out " Samco". They have 24/47 barreld actions for $ 109.00 for sale. Naturally, they also have complete rifles (excellent) for $159.00.
  8. Yes, a Weaver T0-1 will work on all Smle's. No 1 MK3, No4 MK1,2,1/3 and No5. It user the Front receiverbridge and the clip bridge
  9. The easiest and lowest Mount I know of, for the Smle is the Weaver T0-1. It entailes drilling 3 holes. cost is @ $12.00 and .22 rings will fit right on.
