Bitchin' setup, wes!Originally Posted by wild_wild_wes
This just in....
Barrel is the Centurion Arms 16" cold hammer forged midlength midweight heavy duty chrome lined barrel (MG spec; 2X thich chrome lining).
I wonder if this rifle could benefit from the new Vltor A5 buffer tube....

New Eotech 512
I just got four more guns, now the cabinet is full. Two of the rifles were given to me. They are 303 No4 MK1* cut down and are only suitable for projects or spares. From my brother i got a 1901 303 sporterised with a worn barrel and a nice side mounted scope rail. Another future restoration project. Also i got an Ivor Johnson single barrel 12Ga shotgun in almost mint condition. This will be used for shooting black powder. I just got the catalogue for the next Wellington Antique arms Auction. For more info check out www.nzaaawgtn.org.nz , I hope the link works.
what recoil??Attachment 126534
Bottom: My baby, 1930 Lithgow SMLE No.1 Mk 3. (Rule .303 - for all the Aussies) All serial numbers match and in original stock. Saw War service and limited use - the recoil on it turns me on
shoots bloody accurate too! 3 foxes to its credit, one in low light at night, plus a couple of roos.
so far.nice rifle that nr1mkIII, how much are the M10s in your parts of the world?
did anyone else noticed that .303 sounds more like a loud "pffft" than a "bang"???
That looks familiar. Poster on ARFcom? <And nice rifle mate. Very nice.>This just in....

I just got back from the Oregon Fal Files Chapter annual rifle/pistol match. I ended up using my Belgian/DSA FAL, Enfield No.4, Glock 22, and AK-74. A good time.
I gotta book a range and let the SLR and Vepr out to stretch their legs, they are probley feelin a little unloved at the moment. No excuse really when there a 3 ranges to choose from at work a 100, 300 and a 600m(900 with clearance). Still need to get a bullet guide for the Vepr to function 100%, anyone have much experiance with these. Apart from that its a pretty nice 74 look alike in black.
So you like the AIA then. I have been watching the company for years, but never found anyone who actually owns one.Attachment 126534
Top: AIA M10 B2 Match (7.62 x 51 NATO) - Harris Bipod, Apen Apex 4030 39 x 4.2 Scope (does the job for now) Bit of a SMLE/M14 hybrid. got it dialled right in, bloody accurate and consistent, but took a bit to fire in the weapon and make it run smooth (plus the only N/D I have ever done in my life - It fired after I hit the bolt handle with the palm of my hand as it siezed up on the second round while locking. not an aimed shot at all!! ) Has 7 kills to its name so far (1 x red deer, 6 roos, all tasty)

so far.
Heres a tip, never own up to shooting roos on a place where your IP is known, i dont want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but hey, you never know. Rumour is roos can be taken down from .22lr up. Number 4's also work well
Thanks! Yes, I posted it on ARF too. I'm so pleased with it!
The wife just procured me a Russian Tula SKS for a father's day gift.....should arrive in a few days.
^ I hate you.
Hey at least it's not a Norc....
Pics to follow...lol
Actually, I'm happy for you, Roy! Honest.
I shouldn't bitch, as I have a 55 Tula.
The more I think about it, I believe a decent SKS w/ stock iron sights would have done very well at yesterday's rifle matches. The distance wasn't so far away that optics or free-floating barrels w/ match-grade ammo would have been required, and all that would have been necessary was a rifle that fired with reasonable accuracy and semi-auto speed. Simplicity is good.
Yah. I have to decide what to do with this one. I'm tempted to put a Tapco T6 on her....but I'll see what kind of shape she's in when she arrives.
Fvck that, Roy. Keep her in her original condition. Don't ruin her with Tapco/UTG crap!
