42 DAF - Mil Conversions

#1 Post by hitchphil »

In reply to your question - Not many are buying them. Same as Voare & BSA CFTs - Majestics etc

You can get Davies triggers that improves them a lot & the club has one with a stainless Swing M3 barrel on it that nails 1000, Swing sights can be fitted easily vs 1/2 moa windage PH5B's but really they are very outmoded. Club converted one from 308 back to 303 & put old wood back on! its very good.

Better to buy Swing Mk3 or higher (Mk 1 has very small extractor).
Musgraves still popular £300 ish but no LH option & spares becoming rare.
Grunigs turn up at £300-£500 that are very good.
Or look at Sportco / Omark then Angel then Barnard for 3 lug actions.
For English 4 lug series look for Swing 3, Swing5 - Paramount, RPA 2000, Quadlock, Quadlite.

If you find an RPA 2000 for less than £2k let me know!
Quality control of Scottish Ethanol. & RDX/HMX

& my fav chemical is :-) 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine.......... used to kill frogs.... but widely consumed & in vast quantities by the French? Eh?

Thank I have a Swing Mk 4 for me but for years I’ve built dangerous game rifles out of Mausers and P14s
These have all had new bottom metal triggers etc.
I’ve a had boxes of this stuff in case it comes in useful, before it’s weighed in it occurred to me there made an better use that’s not my normal area of rifle work.
The Cadets have just taken all the Brindel triggers for example for their Musgraves.
