Hi All

Do we have any metal machinists on the forum ? I would like to get a scope rail made up similar to this one fitted to a service rifle , the original was made by Parker Hale if I could get one of those even better but I have never seen one for sale or even know of one .
Heres a link with a machined copy and a drawing of the original

Any ideas on who could make one appreciated .

If you find someone let me know please as the article also mentions the P14 and I would like to add a period 'scope to mine at some point

Thanks Dave, nice articles, I suspect it will be a long while before I get the rifle built but it is nice to plan it all the same.
