njc110381 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Why a single shot rather than mag fed? You could always order yourself a Calhoon single shot adaptor? They slot into the mag well instead of the magazine and I had one fitted to my Ackley. Just get a CZ, one of them and a Timney trigger - it will be as accurate as anything else you'll find and for a few quid a gunsmith can really work wonders on the smoothness of the bolt. My Ackley was on a CZ action and it was one of the smoothest guns I've ever used - but then it was made my Callum Fergusson and he is very good!

I admit I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about; never heard of it, still as they say, there's nothing new under the sun. But I'm going to find out pretty damned quick! I can't now remember who it was but about 9 months ago I had a good chat with another member (my mate decided to take no further action, but he might now) about Hornet chamber/magazine/cartridge lengths. This little ***-bit may just interest him (apologies for memory loss) as well. Many thanks, Phil Edit: ***, just how PC can you get?

Without wishing to hijack the thread, what can a gunsmith do to the bolt? interested to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Without wishing to hijack the thread, what can a gunsmith do to the bolt? interested to find out I have no idea but my Ackley Hornet was based on a CZ527 and had an action that was much nicer to use than the likes of Sako, Manlicher etc. That's not something that happened by luck - I've had a lot of CZs and they're all as rough as a Badgers *** to cycle!
