Archie-fox Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) As requested some pics of the work ive had donne on my new T3.. I took it down to Chris Blackburn of uk Gunworks, i had the bolt handle removed and a new Bolt knob put on, also had the bolt itself polished up.. Then had the trigger worked on and the springs replaced so its breaking just under 2 lbs, also had the bottom screws replaces with uk gunworks screws and the mag release catch extended..so when you have gloves on its easyer to release..also had the scope munts replaced.. Chris offered some exelent advice on loads for my 223 and was a genuine nice guy to deal with..and the work was first class. some pics below of the end result..(p.s i have no relation to chris or uk gunworks,just praising good work). few more pics. few more pics Edited July 9, 2012 by archie1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggiegun Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Rich, You need to get rid of the synthetic stock and fit a Macmillan A5. Did you replace the plastic rear bolt shroud because that will split soon enough mate, mine did. Is it a 12 or 8 twist, mines 12 twist and loves 55grn Vmax with 26.6grns of Varget Reggiegun Edited July 9, 2012 by reggiegun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. How do you find the trigger compared to factory set, I need to adjust mine, but worried about making to light and having a slam fire or it going off.

Mike UKGunworks shrouds are most definitely UK manufactured, as are all UKGunworks products. He now has stock so you should be receiving yours soon.

Jammer600 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 22-250 is flatter than the .223 but the .223 is smoother to shoot though a moderator will help with the 22-250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
