I got a Wilson Case Trimmer, a boxed set of 4 DVD's on the history of snipers, and best of all, a Tomato Sauce Dispenser in the form of a snub nose revolver, pull the trigger and out squirts the sauce, love it.

Another variation on this theme is to: 1. Welcome new interested persons provided they have firearms licence, and their kit can hit the "black". We always encourage interested people to attend when we are shooting 300 to 600 yards. We have 2 club rifles as well. 2. If their kit is .223, or...

Hi Peter, been doing just this for some years now. A .223 bolt BODY, and a 308 Bolt BODY with a single firing pin assembly. Seems to work great with no lapping.

A couple of tips. 1) Joining SSAA as a "gold member" gives you $25000 insurance cover for your rifles. You cannot beat that. 2) Seek advice from Club Members before you buy a factory rifle from a gunshop. This is particularly with respect to Barrel Twist. We shoot heavy for calibre bullets...

There is a visible join. In my case through the barrel channel and along the top edge of the butt. However, the guy who did the job is a craftsman, he sprayed a nice black narrow contrasting strip over the join before he applied the clear coat. Looks really good.

I am "minding" one that belongs to another shooter. After an initial tryout, I went back to beam scales and use a magnifying glass to assist my vision on the beam scale.
