verrocchio100Blackburn pics?
Anyone have pics for any Blackburn parts? Interested in close up view of bottom metal (with various bows) and scope rings.
Thanks in advance!

Stu CThere's a couple of pics of the rings on their
WEB SITE Here are a couple of the bottom metal. Sorry for the poor quality of the pics.

verrocchio100Hey Stu thanks for the pics. Yep, I saw the ring pics on the site but I was hoping for a more detailed close up. The pics you posted are great! BTW, do you know which trigger bow type you have there?
Thanks again!

Stu CThat's a mod 70 guard bow - I think model 3 on the Blackburn site.

Here's a mauser 30-06 length drop box. It's going on a 1909 9.3X62 project. I'm not sure about the bow contour though, it's what he had in stock. I like it.

verrocchio100Hey TC1, thanks for the pic

BTW, is that floorplate 2 or 3 screw? And, if I am not mistaken, is the mag box integral to the floorplate?
Thanks again!
It's a 2 screw model (mauser

). If I was looking for Winchester botton metal I would only consider 2 screw designs. The 3rd (middle screw) is only there to accomidate a 2piece floor plate/trigger guard design and effects accuracy in my opinion. The problem can be over come with tweaking the pressure of the middle screw, but if you can eliminate the source of the problem, I see no need for it.
