I am hoping for quite a bit of help on the above. The rifle is, I suspect, somewhat old, (serial number G264711). It does not have an accutrigger. It does have a blind magazine that staggers the cartridges. The barrel has a 9" twist. Although it's well used, I've tried it with a variety of ammunition and it's been putting them all inside an inch at 110 yards, and some inside a half inch, so not too shoddy.

The questions I would like help with are as follows:-

1. Any ideas on the date of manufacture?

2. Is there a conversion available to fit a 10 round magazine? I realise that the wood will have to be cut to fit such a rig, but that can be done without too much trouble.

3. When fully loading the magazine the first round almost invariably jams, as does a single round fed loose. The rest of the rounds follow smoothly. Is this a known problem and is there a cure? Would a single shot adaptor fix this?

4. Can an Accutrigger be fitted as a 'drop in'?

5. Any other useful hints?

TIA
