Hi all, just seen this Mk1 block for sale on eBay and was wondering if the QF modification to the block is a recognised practice or is it a bodge up ?
The guy is selling his rifle bit by bit as spares it would seem. He also has a Mk1 stock for sale but when you look at the stock the hole for the quick fill is off centre. I'm wondering if the mod' went a bit wrong and he's selling as the rifle was a write off ??
I messaged him a couple of times but it seems he took offence and asked me politely not to message him again 😳😳😳
I wonder if he's on here reading this 😁😁😁
if its been done right it will be safe.but would be cautious.

Measure twice drill once 😊.md
A block like that came up some time back and the quick fill fell out while charging.
I'm sure kevg will remember that one.
Regards kev.
A popular mod for the old MK I over on our side of the pond!!
Milling the block up MK II specs....
This includes Pre-chamber enlarging and Mark 4 Trigger milling!!!
If done correctly, there is no safety issues!!!
Any competent Machinist/gunsmith can do this.

That doesn't sound very good,coming out while filling. Md
Sounds bloody dangerous think I'll give it a miss 😳
a couple you years ago someone sent me a block they had bought from ebay.it was a full block apart from reg and barrel.on building it up and fitting a bottle the bottom plug blew out.with luck it was pointing away from me.could have been much worse.

so another noob question from yours truly, so on a mk2 is that port to allow you to add a quickfill connector?
if yes where would one obtain such an adaptor?
thanks
yes the bottom blanking plug can be used.ime sure best fittings do them in the size thread needed.its 1/4 bsp

Really glad I found this. Saw the block myself and was considering a bid. Not now. Thanks Ken.
