Looking fantastic

@Lee unsworth I am interested in how you made that dovetail-to-picatinny rail fit, as I bought one and I cant slide on from the back or front as I would usually because the dovetail has a stop just in front of the loading bay and thus it cant be slide on. How did you get yours fitted as right now I wasted my money getting this one from Daystate/Brocock (I picked up at this years British Shooting Show).

I reverse the screws and slid a thin bit of metal and flared the mount out very slightly, 1/4 turn then try - another 1/4 turn ect and mine went on from front of rifle to the back , it was only the rear one that needed flaring and it walked on from the mag area back , hope it makes sense but mine was a very one off modified set up

I have started to set up my Daystate Blackwolf for this years FT season

I have started to set up my Daystate Blackwolf for this years FT season

So how did you like the revere overall ? Did you have a good, average or just fair season?

@Lee unsworth thanks. The problem is, and it is same on both of my factory Reveres, is that the dovetail isn’t all the way though which is a pain compared to other rifles. See red circled area. Why did Daystate do this. Another £65 down the pan as it wouldn’t fit as per your setup so is yours filed down?

Yeh that’s why I had to flare the riser rail out , it can risk damaging the rail tho and possibly mark your action that’s why I don’t recommend it as a mod and they unfortunately don’t just fit on , shame really as it would make sense to have the dovetail non flared

Revere was a good balanced rifle and was competitive

Thanks Lee. I didn’t realise you leave the original trigger guard on. Cool. Really got the Rowan trigger working fab now.

Does anyone know the trigger part no. for Rowan engineering for the huntsman revere?

I think I used the same one for the Merlin ect but probably best to send them an email and they will send you the correct one

Old post I know .... sorry about that

But how has the stock been holding up @Lee unsworth ?? Have started looking at something different for mine and still unsure of what to get. Though being as there isn't much out there either makes things even harder.

The stocks are absolutely fantastic, I’m now running a raw micro hunter in the same style stock form cr2 with cylinder conversion

 

[Woogie_man]

Ahhh. Ok I didn't realize that the micro was in the same stock.


Interesting......
