Since you already have rifles to use, you could spread the work and cost over a period of time. Doesn't hurt all at once that way, and you can still end up with what you want......maybe better. Mike

One of the nice things about this board is that we have such a diverse group. This gives us all access to the creativity of others. Oh, and welcome. Since I have retired, I have less time to myself than before, so I don't get by as often as I would like. Too many trips to Alabama. Mike

You may want to give these guys a call to see what they are selling. http://www.rguns.net/016_14.html http://www.militarygunsupply.com/shop2/ind...products_id=325 The rguns are a complete action, the other does not have a trigger guard or small pieces. If you are going to use something else, you can save 20 bucks, other wise, you can't get the extras for 20 bucks....... Mike

Don, your an inspiration to us all.

Don, That is so Cool. Did you convert the floor plate also? Mike

Yes, we do have the#2A, which was built in the 60's, specifially for the 308 nato round. But I don't think the average MK4 is quite up to that.

What can a 303 MK 4 Enfield, safely, be rechambered for? Mike

I read somewhere once that even the bison had a lot to do with keeping the prairies healthy. One of the reasons the herds kept moving was the fact that as they ate the grass down, the thousands of hooves churned the sod allowing the water and nutrients into the soil. Kinda like big hairy dethatchers......

I have never had a pierced primer, and I had to grind the right bottom corner off because of it catching on the safety. But it blued really nice, and it was tight fitting, but i would rather have a tight fitting part than a loose one. It looks good, and has done everything I needed it to do........ I am doing a M96 at the moment and I plan to put one on it...... Sorry about pictures, my Son made off with my camera.... Hope this helps...... Mike

Yes, I have one on a '95, 7x57.

Don, That looks really great. Could you throw a couple of measurements out there for a visually challenged one ???? Thanks Mike

Way to go Kenny, That 'ole turk never thought it could look so good....Mike

"Having said that, I have about all of Louis L'Amour's books and some of Zane Gray's. I wouldn't include those books on my list. LC" LC, I would think, that having been said, would qualify for the list. I think Louis L'Amour is one of the finest authors ever....... I also have every one of his books. Mike

Jason, You did a beautiful job on the stock. I was thinking of a RIA in a light walnut, and Gun Kote brush stainless for the metal, and cut a mag down flush, with the stock. Still trying to decide, mean while, I am having the barrel turned smooth, and will put a new crown on when i get it back. Thanks for sharing......Mike

Skeeter, The only case hardening that I have seen and been able to attribute to someone, was at a show south of Raleigh. Doug Turnbull, from New York. He does BEAUTIFUL work. Just depends on how much its worth to you....... http://turnbullrestoration.com/pricelist_2006.html Mike

Roscoedoh, Last Feburary, you were looking to restock a MK 4. What did you ever do with that? I ask because I am now looking to do one..... Thanks Mike

Riceone, if I am not mistaken, you were looking for one a couple of months ago????? http://www.jouster.com/cgi-bin/sales/salec...ames;read=20126

It really doesn't sound right at all. When going for my concealed carry permit, it was taught to shoot them coming thru a window, or a door as it is a crime to break in, but once in, you cannot shoot them unless they threaten you bodily. And if you are able to shoot them you can only do it once, so make it good.... To double tap is excessive force...... Can you beleave that, seems that if they break thru a door or a window, they ought to be fair game, reguardless.

Now I can admit that, that is one thing (out of 1,000's) that I have not done........What happened?

I found this very interesting. Thought maybe some of you might also. http://www.metalwebnews.com/mr.html

FC, No fair for you to do all of the work and have to shell out the bucks too. I would like to contribute toware the cause. Just tell me how to get it to you. Thanks Mike
