Wow, if that's a bayonette turned into a bipod, great idea! Very original.
 
Thats an altered bayo for the bi-pod . but I won't shoot with it .
It's more of just a cool looking holder than anything . :evil:
I think recoil will damage the bayo lugs . I bet it will throw off the bullets point of impact as well .
I've been pondering on making a muzzlebrake for it ...lol :onCrack:

You should try shooting a couple of magnum rifles, you don't know what you are missing. The .303 was out of date by WW1 and everyone knew it, it's a mediocre cartridge at best.

Perhaps I should but probably shouldnt start with a 300 RUM. :eek: I shoot 8mm Mauser/30-06Spring/303Brit class rifles the most (mainly because I own a FN49 in 8mm Mauser). :)

I have to admit that my question was a bit tounge in cheek, the altered bayo is a neat idea though.
As it happens I have a No4 with a muzzle break. I bought a sportster that had had the bayo lug portion of the barrel removed, I had full military wood for it but it looked bloody stupid with an inch and a half missing so I made a muzzle break for it. At a glance it looks just like a stock No4, the break butts right up to the front sight. It is what I would describe as a sharks gill muzzle break, the gases are directed back at a 45 degree angle sides top and bottom.It reduces recoil extreemly well but does make it very noisy to shoot. I would have bought a new barrel for it if it were not for the fact that the two groove barrel is a good shooter.
 
Dimitry, what's a 300 RUM. ?

The No 4 is not a good candidate for powerfull cartriges as the rear locking lugs can not take the high pressures generated. That's why the Brits payed Mauser a fee to use his patented action to make the P13.
 
Spencer,

My father owns a Remington M700 in 300 Remington Ultra Mag, supposidly has 20% more power (and recoil) then then 300 Win Mag. :eek: Never shot it though, decided to stick to standard calibers after hearing 300Win Mag's and 300RUM's go off. :runaway:

Personally only reason I'm thinking about the 303 Epps is the bigger case life, not the speed increase which in a No.4 action wouldnt be too much anyways. :)

Now I know what RUM stands for. Thanks.

My P14 used to go BOOOM until I floated the barrel, now it's more of a whip cracking noise that I could not spell even if I tried. The recoil is not at all severe with the 7mm rem mag, it's as accurate as they come, has very long range capabilities and a flat trajectory, what more could anyone ask for.

If you are thinking of chambering a No 4 with the Epps cartridge just to extend case life then it is hardly worth the bother.
 
ive saved a few old sporters, put them back. i have one with a RKS bbl in 308 put back to full millitary, with a sterling mag, that i havent even shot yet

You think so Spencer. I thought maybe getting a few more reloads out of a peice of brass might be a good thing. :)

Sure it's a good thing, but the cost of getting it re-chambered would be prohibitive compared with buying new cases. .303 brass lasts me for ages, in fact I am still using brass that I have loaded at least 15 times, come to think of it i have not disgarded any so far.

Oh, something to think about then. :)
