Nice.....I

I have a soft spot for a howa 1500

How do you find the field stock?

It looks like a great way to have the XRS look without hurting the wallet,I'm considering one for my .243 Howa1500

I'm more than happy with field stock and would highly recommend it to others if they're still using the original polymer stock. It's certainly built well and for not a great cost compared to the alternatives. It's by no means lightweight though so if youre doing a lot of walking around it might be worth considering others. My issues with the original stock were poor eye alignment and the near horizontal grip, both of which have now been rectified with the MDT. The other bonus is it's compatibility with AICS magazines if thats your thing 👍
 
Every single rifle I've ever handled with ANY GRS stock, from Air Arms to Tikka, has been an absolute joy. If I had ANY modern-style rifles they would be my replacement stock of choice.

Cheers buddy thats good to know👍
 
The musket, which might be a rifle [?] is not a modern replication, but is likely a Nepali-made issue item. It is VERY nicely-made, with its double-outlined lockplate. This is the lockplate of an original Pattern 53 Enfield rifle, later converted to a breech-loader using the Snider conversion -

I note that 'your' example has a nipple shield, showing that it gets used - so it might be a rifle?

This is a modern replica from Parker-Hale -

The wood on yours is clearly of better quality and shows lots of BLO patina that is unmistakably old.

This is my 1858 Pritchett rifle -

Thanks for replying with your observations. It may well be a rifle. I don't have much knowledge of the old firearms , however I note your comments and agree on the quality of manufacture, it does shine through.

It certainly gets used, here it is in action at 200 yards at the event where the photos were taken.

In that case, it's definitely a rifle. A 'musket' is a term used for a military smoothbore, like the Brown Bess.

Ardesa,
They do not do a great deal in repro muxzze loaders these days mainly modern inline guns that use shotgun primers instead of percussion Caps.
Although they are still available.
