 On another forum, a guy is asking for help with a gun he bought. | ||

Did it come with the spare ring to keep in his pocket | |||

Scope and extractor... It's got to be a set up. I don't think "vise grip" checkering, i.e. the trigger guard, really caught on in the States. I think that's more of a European thing.  _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.

The same thing came to my mind..... Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

It just needs a tie wrap around the front bell and through the slotted fore end. That extractor ring can be a nasty thing if it pops into the recess for the 3rd locking lug. | |||

A tie wrap? How tacky! I think a hose clamp would add a touch of real class. | |||

I like the idea of using the front of the scope base to stabilize the front half of the scope. For high end scopes like the Simmons Whitetail sitting on it, I can't think of a better method. | |||

Has the trigger guard been munched by a pair of vise grips, or am I seeing things that ain't there? | |||
|

No joke, I once saw a rifle at a local shop (an italian mil-surp) that had wood screws drilled in the stock holding 2 pieces of bar stock which was cobbled to a set of rings holding the scope. The owner brought it in cause it wouldnt group!!!! The smith told him he would remount the scope if he promised not to tell anyone who had worked on it. True story, I should have took pictures!!

A fine technical solution indeed; it can fit 1", 26mm and 30mm scopes! | |||

looking back at this thumbholed thing ... you know how you can tell it's unfired? there's not gore and most of someone's eyebrow hanging off the scope ... look at it, eye relief most be "zero", like a "real" sniper scope -- so the fine designer could put the scope right ON his eye... whew! opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Too many guys with so much money that they've become elitist. Don't you remember being poor and wanting something, anything to shoot? NRA Life Endowment Member | |||

one of us |
I get your point Mike, but being poor doesn't force one to become a dumbass. After all, those could belong to some wealthy miser. The very best one of these pictures was the one of a barrel headspaced with two flat washers between the barrel shank and receiver ring. It spawned one of the best one-liners in AR history when ForrestB posted "That's so stupid; even I know one of them is supposed to be a lock-washer!" "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

 This pic has been around since the world wide web started up in the 1990s. I tried to copy that on an Enfield No4 with a length of steel L bracket drilled and tapped to the side of the receiver. I epoxied a Weaver rail to the top of the L bracket. The epoxy broke loose with the first round fired, and the scope, rings, and rail all fell off. | |||

I saw one worse than that at a gun show a guy was carrying a 95 spanish mauser rebarreled to 22-250 all the metal work was file worked with an assortment of round and triangle files- even the mounts. the stock had all sorts of silver and jade rock inlays the guy only wanted a grand for it -it was hard to resist | |||

Let me guess he came well recommended by Obama. | |||

2 Years ago at my Rod and Gun club's sight in day, I was working the range assisting people sighting in their rifles and shotguns. I thought I had seen everything until a gentleman came in with a TC inline with a scope mounted on it. I was at one end of the firing line and happened to look down to the other end where this nimrod set up. I watched him fire a few rounds and I walked over to him and asked if he was having any trouble. He told me he his scope wasn't working very good. I had to hold back my laughter because his scope was mounted BACKWARDS! I would not want to be in the same woods as him. Do it right the first time. | |||

I sort of collect Bubba brand rifles with some restrictions. The metal work has to be un-molested even if the wood has been murdered. This way I have acquired some fine barreled actions with black wrinkle painted (or worse) wood. They shoot well but I only shoot them when no one else is at the range. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Holy shit!! How did you keep from  him off the range? | |||
|
| one of us |
I guess you have to give everyone a chance. Some people either have no Common Sense or don't know how to read instructions. Do it right the first time. | |||

"Instructions", I don't kneed no stinking instructions. Take Care! | |||

It's O.K.!, It's probably got a bayonet further down near the hole in the end!  | |||

Scope mounted backwards? I have 100 rifles with Weaver rails and 50 scopes with Weaver rings. The scopes and rifles play musical chairs at the range. The mounts, rings, and scopes are black. The benches are under a rain roof, and there is no lighting. The Pacific Northwest is usually under a dark rain cloud. My scopes stand a 50% chance of going on backwards. | |||

| One of Us |
Not much of a problem until you put the rifle on the bench backward. | |||

Here in the UK, we have some gunsmiths to avoid Scope Problems | |||
