can some one help PLEASE.....

[aussiebob]

i have a dta srs A1 sitting at horsly park gun shop in sydney but i cant have it as i got it with a 16in barrle now the barrle is legal the stock lenght is legal but the overall length when they went to regester it is not legal by 2 inches so to rectify this i have had to shell out for a 338 lap conversion. now that is there the torque wrench i orderd didnt come with it and when we rang up they have none in stock currently so i am asking if any one in sydney can drop one at horsly park so they can spend 15 min chainging the barrle so i can get it regesterd and then wait for the torque wrench to turn up as i have automotive tourqe wrenches but they measure in foot pounds not inch pounds or if any one knows of one for sale i would be most grateful and if your willing to come to canberra ill take you to my favoite deer spot to say thanks or ill pay to borrow one if i have to ......please

PM archaos, he is up that way

[Archaos]

Bob, I will drop past Horsley tomorrow with my DTA wrench so they can swap it. Just tell them I'm coming. I will get there in the morning.

[Archaos]

Hay Bob, I was just at Horsley, dam your barrel is in tight. We couldn't get it out. I released the 4 bolts and locking cam but no go.

Give them a call.

Also if you can't get the DTA wrench just buy a wheeler FAT wrench with a 5mm hex bit. They work just as well and are available in nearly every gun shop

Sorry man haven't been On the forum today your an absolute legend for trying thanks heaps if you ever want to hunt in Canberra give me a yell I'll try to hook you up with a nice fallow deer. I wonder y it's not coming out as the exporter only put the barrel in on the 2nd also they said it would be legal too ps how does she look I haven't Even seen it I've owned it for a while now but can't have it and its driving me nuts. any ideas boys to get this thing free

It feels like either excessive oil or the greasy stuff on a new rifle is holding it in place. If it was mine I would use a small rag and a piece of dowl to tap it gently out from the back end. There is a wiggle in it but it just doesn't want to come out, it's just hard to grip the muzzle end (use gloves as that brake will rip your hand). Also I would check your bolt for any burrs or imperfections as it appears to have some metal shavings in the bolt guide area. This is common but I can see a small track mark, take care of that first up (this is not a serious issue), other than that it's nice. I noticed you didn't go for the mono pod, I wish I had. It's nice and compact. Do you have a hard case or soft case for it? I have a 1720 original DTA hard case for mine that I am getting rid of as I now have the larger 1750 case to hold more conversions and parts.

[aussiebob]

Yea I've done a basic gun smithing course with the army reserves so I'll go over it check the bolt out polish a few bits get it slick and smooth thanks heaps for the insight I definitely hadn't herd about that before. With the mono pod I wanted one but it was at least 5months extra wait and almost a grand more I actually originaly ordered the package with rifle, rings, 2 conversions, hard case and a muzzle brake and operator's tool kit for 9,000 but they didn't have the hard case or the tool kit so I have ended up spending 10,000 on the rifle and 2 conversions so if you have a case I'd definitely be keen I'm also looking for some optics and rings as I only have a nikko Stirling nighteater and it's not ideal but it will do for now but I definitely want to get something better so new or used I'm keen speaking of which we should probably make a thred with goodies for sale thanks again for the help

I have the DTA 30moa mount and a S&B 5-25x56 PMII. I wouldn't have minded the Spuhr mount and have had gotten the Horus reticle in my S&B

I had a Nightforce originally on my DTA in 8-32x56 NP-R1, you can pick them up pretty cheap now and are a great piece of glass. I see a lot of people running the premiers now! the Khales would be nice too.

[aussiebob]

Yea I would love to have that comb but I'm struggling to find the funds to cover this unscheduled perchase of the second conversion as that wasn't exactly what I had planned as it seems like a winner but I think we're talking mid year or later now so looking at more affordable options so might go for the nightforce and I have a really good qd one piece mount that is garenteed repeatable zero at 1000 yds so I can fit my paladin night scope

We sell an extended flashhider for the 16" covert barrels to fix that problem.
