Power Custom Trigger Unit
After speaking with Randall Power recently about his new trigger unit we thought it may be worth looking at one....and we are VERY impressed. The unit is CNC machined in two pieces, the main body and a sideplate. Internally it's hardly surprising that Power Custom parts predominate including their hammer and sear combination which we have used ourselves for several years. The safety is inside the trigger guard and resembles that seen on the old Garand rifles in that it is pushed backwards or forwards rather than the usual side to side. It also features an automatic bolt release, extended magazine release and trigger overtravel screw. The unit comes with an additional small torsion spring which can be installed to allow the magazine to be dropped using this spring pressure. However, the receiver needs a degree of machining to install this option. The superb single stage trigger pull itself comes in at around 2.25 lbs but is easily adjusted by turning a single screw to provide pull weights between 1.5 - 3.0 lbs. This is made possible by an inline polished trigger return ball plunger, spring and set screw. The unit is available in silver or black finish at a price of £275 Looking back..... We have to confess that last year was not one of the best for us with both Roger and Sheila having health problems (mainly it must be said...due to old age!) Nothing particularly serious or life threatening, but Sheila underwent surgery in June which hasn't worked out as well as expected and she may need further surgery in the near future. Roger meanwhile suffered a rather dramatic setback with his long term arthritic problems last March which has left him as yet unable to drive the car which of course means that getting out to shoot is difficult although one friend in particular has been taking him to the range when he can which has prevented Roger from going totally mad. We are really grateful to many of our friends and colleagues who have shown much sympathy and understanding when one or the other of us has been out of action or simply having a "bad day" Looking forward ..... After all the sorry tales of woe we are truly delighted to say that we are looking forward with rejuvenated optimism to 2012. Negative thoughts have been banished from the premises as we are determined to overcome our health issues by reorganising ourselves and the business. This started to an extent at the beginning of 2011 when Dave Wylde, who had worked as our gunsmith for five years, branched out on his own with our blessing and encouragement. This has meant a reduction in services offered by us as Dave was responsible for most of the general gunsmithing jobs which came in but of course was instrumental in the production of top class full custom centrefire rifles. If you are considering the purchase of a full custom rifle then we would encourage you to contact Dave directly through his website at www.valkyrierifles.net Now ... a few important notes on the management of South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies which we feel will help as we keep hearing from some of our customers that they had heard that we closed down months ago! In order to maximise our working hours Sheila will continue to look after our retail shop here together with the mail order side of the business (which she has been doing for years) The shop will be open as before from 9.30am to 5.30pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Roger will continue to devote most of his time to assembling our Rimfire Magic semi-auto rimfire rifles, tuning Marlin lever action rifles and preparing our semi-custom Remington 700 rifles. Additionally he will be building a small number of custom centrefire rifles for sporting and target shooting, but please note that these will be assembled to our specification using the large number of actions and stocks which we have acquired over the years and are contributing to our rather expensive levels of these items! If you are wanting a centrefire rifle building to your specific style then we would ask you to call Dave at Valkyrie Rifles as above. Dave is still working at our premises so if you can find us then you have no excuse not to be able to find him..... Fortunately Roger can test fire rimfire rifles in the workshop but testing centrefire rifles will of course require a trip to a suitable range. Until he can drive again this means that Sheila will need to drive him there and back and of course this can only be done when the shop is closed. In order to maximise our limited hours it would be really appreciated if anyone wishing to discuss centrefire rifles with Roger would be kind enough to make an appointment if possible or leave your phone number with Sheila and Roger will get back to you when he's free. This doesn't apply to rimfire or Marlin rifles as Sheila is more than capable of dealing with most enquiries on these rifles. As well as all this we will gradually be working through the extensive inventory of parts and accessories we have here and offering them on this site on the Special Offers page. The first few items should be finding their way onto this page over the next few days so why not make a note to check back every now and again. You may be amazed to see some of the bits and pieces we have acquired over the past 27 years ............ we certainly will be! Our other intention (when we have a spare minute or two and aren't asleep) is to update many of the pages on our site as we are painfully aware how out of date some of them are.
Ruger BX 25 magazines back in stock! It looks as though we have covered all the back orders for the BX25 mags from the one hundred we received from the importers, but to be on the safe side we ordered a further fifty mags which are safely with us, taking our stock back up to around the 100 mark. So give us a call if you wish to acquire the best high cap 10/22 style mag we've ever come across. The cost is £35 each plus a bit for postage and packing where required. Manners Stocks Now available: T4 stocks to accept Tikka T3 action!
For more details see below... We are pleased to tell you that we have quietly been importing several batches of Tom Manners superb stocks and we are currently producing our price list. Even better is the news that Tom has been kind enough to listen to our request for him to register as an exporter with the US State Department and also to acquire the necessary US export licence which now allows him to ship his stocks directly to us, rather than through a third party exporter/shipper. An added benefit is that this will reduce our costs and of course we will pass these savings on to our customers. We owe Tom a great debt of gratitude for doing this on our behalf as we are currently struggling with at least two other US companies who are finding excuse after excuse and delay after delay in shipping our orders, some of which go back to October last year. As well as offering the stocks on their own we will shortly be offering a range of rifles combining Manners stocks with Remington 700 or our own UK produced Alchemy actions. We now have around 70 stocks to hand which includes 20 which are the MCS-T4 (shown below with a Remington 700 in situ) but this batch is inletted to accept the Tikka T3 barrelled action with Varmint contour. This model is intended as a "drop in" and shoot design for the T3 and will be priced at £475 with fixed cheek piece and £600 with the adjustable cheek piece. The Tikka T3 stocks come with a fixed Pachmayr Decelerator butt pad and use the factory floor plate/trigger guard. With such a variety of these absolute top quality stocks available we will adding a "Manners Stocks" page to our website pretty soon with plenty of pictures plus of course prices. We are predicting a BIG future for these stocks (or else one of us will be moving to the dog house........and it won't be Sheila!)

Our Latest Boyds Stock Fancy the "tactical" look for your rimfire rifle? Here is our latest arrival from Boyd Gunstocks in the US shown with one of our Rimfire Magic receivers and heavy 16" fluted barrel. Boyds have called this stock the "Tacticool" which we feel is very appropriate! Boyds stocks are usually laminate wood but this one is hardwood with a textured, coloured finish. We have these in olive drab and black and will offer these as an option on our rifles for just £120 so a similar rifle with our latest aluminium receiver would be priced at £800 (excluding scope & bipod)
Announcing Our New RM-22 Rifle This system is designed to accept our own Rimfire Magic aluminium receiver but will readily accept a Ruger 10/22 barreled action. We thought you may like to see just a few examples of some ideas we've come up with so far.....with plenty more to follow!
Here's one with one of our few remaining stainless steel receivers which are similar to the Ruger 10/22 to show you what your own 10/22 could look like when installed in the RM-22 stock system.....for more details please see our RM-22 page Alchemy Centrefire Actions As many of you will be very aware if you view this site regularly it has become progressively more and more difficult to get gun parts exported from the US and our philosophy has been to explore where possible the manufacture of parts here in the UK Now, with considerable pride and pleasure we can announce the arrival of our own centrefire rifle action. Not surprisingly it follows the design of the ubiquitious Remington 700 which of course allows the use of many aftermarket stocks and triggers. Similar actions have been made since 2008 in small numbers and one has already shot in excess of 2,000 rounds. The action is CNC produced in stainless steel and fitted with a chrome moly steel bolt, comes complete with stainless scope rail and oversize recoil lug, and employs a Sako style extractor and side bolt release. We will of course be building rifles ourselves on this action but it is freely available to the Trade, and our manufacturer is now working flat out to allow us eventually to have actions available off the shelf and held in inventory. This will of course take a while, but we are initially offering short actions in most bolt face options, single shot and repeater variants, and with left and right hand bolt formats. Actions will only be available from your chosen rifle maker so we are not quoting any retail prices...but they will of course be competitive against most currently imported actions...... particularly with current exchange rates!!
Remington 700 detachable magazine kit Our own replacement floor plate conversion accepts the well known and superbly reliable Accuracy International 5 and 10 round magazines. The kit fits short action Rem 700 rifles only, and the AI mags, are designed to feed .308 and similar cartridges. The kit consists of a one-piece floorplate and magazine liner with extended magazine release, two pillars, and two hex head bolts. The cost is £175 plus the cost of mags which are £55.00 for the 5 round and £65.00 for the ten round in .308 Accuracy International have now introduced a 10 round .223 magazine at £35.00 This is not a "drop in" conversion and require a degree of fitting in particular stock inletting and insertion of the correct height pillars to ensure reliable feeding so we recommend installation by a gunsmith although we appreciate that many keen DIY shooters will be able to do the job quite happily. We can now offer a similar replacement floorplate conversion for the Remington 700 long action at £195 which accepts the Accuracy International .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua Mag magazines.
We've fitted the new long action system to a new Rem 700 Police rifle in .300 Win Mag and test fired many dummy rounds and fired ten live rounds with flawless feeding.
Why buy your new Marlin from us? We strip every new Marlin to ensure reliable feeding from the magazine, and lubricate ready for use..... The new .357 stainless rifle with 18.5" barrel shown above is offered at £820 Finally.......we keep one or two Marlins in stock ! Sportac Sound Moderators
Yet another centrefire rifle sound moderator in an already crowded market we hear you groan.......well yes actually! However, this is the latest product manufactured under the South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies banner. Intended for both sporting and tactical or target use the "Sportac" name is simply a contraction of the two words (as if you hadn't already guessed!) The moderator itself is an "over the barrel" or reflex design constructed with an aluminium outer casing and containing a conventional internal baffle stack. Unlike some other makes which use a number of aluminium baffles to reduce weight we elected to utilise stainless steel baffles throughout. The unit weighs in at around 600 grams and goes back approximately 4.5" over the barrel and extends some 6.5" in front of the muzzle. Naturally we will be offering these as part of our custom rifle repertoire whilst of course also offering to install them to a customers existing rifle. The price for muzzle threading and fitting a Sportac moderator is just £225 which we believe helps to bring the use of a moderator within the reach of the great majority of shooters, be they for sporting or target use! Tactical Magic Bolt Knob
We have been fitting these bolt knobs to many of our Remington 700 rifles for some time we have now but have added our name to them so in future you'll know your Rem 700 has been fitted with a quality part! We can replace your factory bolt knob with this more ergonomic version for £75 plus return post Tactical Magic Scope Base To complement your Remington 700 rifle we offer our scope base which is CNC machined from solid steel bar in Picatinny style which will also accept Weaver style rings. This item is finished in black and is available in zero cant or 20MOA options and comes with fixing screws for £85 CZ Trigger Kit The kit comprises three springs and two brass tubes together with comprehensive fitting and safety instructions.
The selection of components permit the shooter to obtain a crisp, single stage trigger pull of less than 2.0 lbs, although we recommend this weight for rifles used in the field for pest control. With around 4,000 sold we feel we can confidently say that this is pretty much an essential "must have" item for any CZ 452 rimfire rifle! The kit also fits the latest 455 models Price £12.00 (post & packing £2.00) New o e Opening Hours ing houSemi-custom Remington 700 riTacTSemi-Custom Remington 700 Riflescfles Our semi-custom Remington 700's are selling very well for us, both as target and pest control rifles. Our modified barreled actions can be fitted to a choice of aftermarket stocks as well as their factory ones, with the Accuracy International Chassis System (AICS) and Bell & Carlson stocks proving particularly popular. The SPS Varmint rifles in particular have proved to be a fine choice as the basis for modified rifles particularly when installed in an alternative stock, and we are now trying to find time to assemble a few semi-custom rifles to have on the shelf here for visitors to take a look at (and possibly even purchase!) Many shooters have travelled quite a distance in order to be able to handle various stocks to check how they fit, so this should be even easier in the near future.
