1894s Photos

Here at last is some photographic evidence of the luddite 1894's activities

First buck of the season shot on the first day - very good for the area.

This muntjac buck finally stopped infront of a safe backstop for the first time in 6 months.
Looks to be a gold allthough only I have measured it thus far.

Poppy my little labrador indicated this buck which we had an exciting stalk after.

Nice pics!
Looks like you have good time there in Britain... [Wink]

I have to admit being a little envious of your seasons and the variety of species!

Fallow Buck

Nice Roe buck.....

The Munty isn't to bad either!!! None in my neck of the woods at the moment, and I'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms [Big Grin]

Just over a month to go though!! [Wink]

Nice animals.
Itï¿½s getting obvious to me that I must go over there with a gun.

While English gun laws basically suck, you can't argue with deer hunting like that.

Nice going. Looks like a ton of fun!

1894,

Congratualtions. Nice deers and seems to be a good labrador too.

But what about a teaser of the rifle. Don't be shy, show us [Big Grin]

Hi hi, very funny. Don't forget that I have owned one of these missfits a couple years ago! 1894, thanks for NOT showing me the smokepole that bagged these animals [Big Grin]

somewhat I don't belive you , it must be a very strange blaser, perhaps camoflaged [Big Grin]

Daniel, I guess you would have some sort of concentration problems with the drill if you saw the "blaser" [Big Grin]

. What I can tell, you are a 98 nut, soo be glad that we don't have to see it.

Now, I have to visit my controlled round feed darlings in the gun vault [Smile]

The opportunity was too good to miss!

Here's the 6.5x55 custom mauser for the muntjac

09 Argentine, shihlen 3#, Churchill stock, Swarovski Nova in custom soldered mounts.

The other 2 were shot with my 6mm rem which is basicaly the same but with H&H takedown system and better wood carved from a blank.

Can you tell us about the H&H takedown system on your 6mm ? Thanks

I can smell my way to a mauser, there is no chance that it will be misstaken for a silly blaser [Big Grin]

Who have built your guns? I guess the take down is the one with a small piece of metall that will fit with the tang of the receiver and a sqrew in the front that can be tightend with a coin or sqrewdriver. Have you used Argentine mauser 98 for all of these lovely guns?

A close up shot of the mauser rifles would be nice.

It's as Johan said. The rear of the action is machined just in front of the rear screw to make a male 'tongue' This slots into a female that is fastened via bedding and the rear screw - it stays in the rifle.

The front screw is a cap head for which a handled key is provided. To take down rifle you undo the front screw and pull the barreled action up to about 45degrees and remove. Reassembly is just the opposite.

A 3/4" group is possible taking down between shots so the system works well for me where I have to put the gun in a safe in the care before I go to work.

Johan - 09s throughout. Got to love that action!

OK

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a good idea.

I like Brno m-21 and ZG-47's, Mauser loony [Big Grin]

Argentines are very nice actions for beeing an army rifle.

Is it hard to find the Argentine action in U.K?
Who built your lovely smoke poles? I want names [Big Grin]

Is Paul Roberts still in business? I like the Charles Newton design of take down, but it's a bit more complex to build than the H&H wood take down
