so i`ve got all the parts required on order even a one piece upper hand guard, so hopefully it wont be too to long before the goodies start to arrive.
I talked to Jesse at Prestigious and he said the No1mkV trials stock is dimentionaly equal to the NoI MkII`s.
Should look pretty nice when completed.
I`ll start a new thread when done with pictures and range reports.

that looks like a really nice rear sight - wish i could appreciate it more - i cant use irons anymore with my old eyes , but as an appreciator of finely machined items i can see the quality and what it might afford a good shooter , often i wish i had gotten into these things earlier in life so they might have benefitted me when my eyesight would have allowed me to make good use of them , 

gettin old aint gor sissys and as we age we appreciate more what we missed in life ,

"gettin old aint for sissys and as we age we appreciate more what we missed in life"

I hear year on that, I don`t figure I`ve got long before I wont be able to see squat with irons, this I figure will be my last kick at the cat so to speak, so I plan to make the very best of it, and I love playing with and learning old technology.

i applaud your moving in that direction , i just wish i had aquired the appreciation sooner in life , i did get to do some things after i met the right people , i shot trap and my team one the leagues two summers , 
i shot three gun for a couple years till it was apparent i couldnt keep up with all the young ones , i had fun collecting all my guns - i still have them but dont get them out often enough , particularly the shotgun - its more home defence these days , 
i shot sporting clays with a bunch of friends and on a league , but since my friends have fallen away from it so have i , i would still go do that again just because i loved the idea of different targets after every move , its really a fun sport , 
now i shoot cowboy action but im seeing a decline in my ability , ill keep doing it because i love shooting the old guns and i like reloading my own ammo , i dont care anymore where i place - im in the largest age group in CAS but ive always shot age category and im not a gamer that would shoot an obscure category just to win , i know some that do , its never been my intent to be "the winner" at any cost , i want to enjoy what i do and those i do it with , ill keep doing it till i cant , 

all that said , and i didnt mean to bore anyone or sound like im whining , im not , i started late and im sorry i did but ive enjoyed what little ive had ,

You know, any is better than none, I started early in life, 8 yrs old on my first grouse hunt with my dad and great uncle, that`s a living memory that never dulls for me.
 On the 15t Oct, I`m doing a PRS weekend just for sh!ts and giggles, its been almost 3 yrs thanx to covid, and I`m going to take my 1951 mint Churchill No4, I recon I`ll be the only one shooting 303, should be a hoot, Got a huge Nikon Monarch target scope on it, and 3 yr old dope sheets, need to start loading and get a couple practice shoots in.
 I trap and skeet shoot to keep my upland game bird skills sharp, plus its a great way to burn through tons of ammo. I dont have buddies I shoot with really, just club acquaintances, I show up shoot, make excuses then go home. My wife used to shoot with me for years, then lost interest for what ever reason, life maybe, but I`ll never quit.....

shiloh, when setting up your Central sight; I found a useful trick to ensure the sight is correctly mounted in the verticle plane.
Set the original rear sight and the new sight to 200 yards. Check the all three sights (front, rear and dioptre) align. Then raise the rear to 800 or the equivalent of the maximum elevation of the dioptre. 
then check that the 3 sighting points are still aligned. To ensure that the dioptre has not moved left or right. You may need some very minor adjustment of the baseplate if the alignment is off.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

I know it’s been a while but is it possible, for a Central sight, to determine which sight you have by the number of clicks per whole rotation of the knobs? I know that is the case with some (Russian) pistols I have. I would imagine that that would have been a far simpler solution for the makers of the Central sights (replacing the knobs) than changing the screw and its thread with all the work that would require - and the spares they would have to carry.

Also, what is it that fixes the threaded screws in the cross pieces/abutments, i.e. stops the knobs from lifting rather than pushing the wind arm or the iris holder? I cannot see any evidence of cross pins (which might introduce backlash).
