Explore.

Point taken - I could possibly persuade my firearms bod to allow me a second 7.62, not sure where it would live though!

I don't think my PM's are working (only just arrived on the forum).

If anyone's is interested I will take some decent pics and can email - let me know - JUS@NTLWORLD.COM

Welcome to the forum Jus, you need 5 posts to be able to post and I think they are also needed to advertise in the for sale and wanted so a quick introduction in new members and you are nearly there.

Then I will take this opportunity (and post) to thank you for your welcome!

Only looking to sell the Swing as I don't have much chance to use it, already a member of a couple of clubs and would need to join another to shoot fullbore locally.

Looks quite nice to my untutored eye, couple of questions to the group in general about these Swings.

1. Are they only used with the aperture type sights
2. If not, how complex would fitting some sort of scope mounts be?

Dead easy to fit a scope to. You need a Swing specific one piece 20MOA rail, which you could probably get from Fultons or maybe from John Knight (PM me for his contact details he used to make them for Fultons) and a set of Burris Signature Zee rings.
If you are at Bisley on saturday with the NRA SC you can see my set up on a Paramount which is very similar.

I'll be on Short Siberia in the morning, would be interested to see your Paramount/scope combination, how would I find you?

You have PM

NRASC owns two Swings with scopes on. They will be on the range on Saturday.

I have a Swing mk 4 which has four 4BA tapped holes along the top of the receiver. A Barnard 25MOA Weaver rail (from HPS) comes pre-drilled with two groups of 4 holes, and three of these, one in the front group and two at the rear, line up perfectly with three of the holes in the receiver.
The underside of the rail is shaped to fit the curve of the receiver. Provides a solid mount for a scope.
