Thanks Rob, couldn't of done it without help from the guys on the forum, you know who you are......I need to get this weighed, a Boys Rifle is listed at 16.3 Kg, this has a part solid barrel so has to weigh nearer 18 Kg.

Kevin.

As for the weight, just pretend the mag is fully loaded.

Looks good though.
