I am looking at a 1941 Lithgow with a crack in stock propagating from the butt plate forward. It is about 3 inches long. I assume it is Coachwood , cannot really tell because the finish is so dark at...
1917 extractors are more common than P-14 extractors. Is it possible for me to reshape the 1917 to work in the P14? Thanks
Thanks guys
I live in California , USA. I imagine it would be alot easier to find in Sydney.
I am going to look at a 1940 Lithgow for sale this week. It does not come with a magazine though. Where could I get Lithgow mag and how much do you think it will cost? I don't want to end up paying...
Looking to purchase a 1943 lithgow. What parts have serial numbers on this model? Anything in particular I should look for? Thanks
Does the Australian military still have Enfields stockpiled in reserves ?
The fact that this gun was issued to the Cadet Corps seems to be certain. But being from the USA , I don't know what the Australian Cadet Corp is. Can anybody help me out on this?
The one I saw had no yellow on it only the green band on the stock.
Does this make them more or less valuable?
What does non service pattern weapon mean? Was it built to different specifications?
Thanks for the info. I guess it never actually used in battle then.
I saw an Australian Lithgow Enfield dated 1943 with a green band painted around the stock, just behind where your right hand rests. Is the marking specific to a unit? Does it have any significance at...
Sorry Type 4, not Mark 4 is what I am most interested in. Not familiar with the nomenclature yet.
The Mark 4 is the type I was interested in
I currently have a 1903 Springfield, 1917 and a Garand. I would like to add an Enfield. I enjoy shooting my guns, not just looking at them. There are so many manufacturers it makes my head spin. ...
At first I thought it was a poorly stamped "R", but it is in fact a clean "K"
I have a 1917 purchased at a gun show not long ago. It has a Johnson Automatics barrel and the bolt is stamped with a "K". Does this stand for Kingsbury?
Went back to take a second look and it was gone.
There is a rifle with this combination. It has an Ogden rework stamped stock. Do you think it two years to mate the barrel with the receiver in the factory or is this mix and match arsenal re-work?...
Is it safe for me to use modern 30-06 rounds in my 1943 ? I have been using Federal American Eagle and it hasn't blown up yet. I guess it would have made more sense to actually ask this question...
I am photographically challenged, but I'll have to give it a try.
I am now the proud owner of a SC 1903. Are there any parts I should pick up as spares? Firing pin, extractor,etc?
I have a chance to get a nice looking 1903A3. My Blue Book of Gun Values prices 100% original guns. This unfortunately is not. It has a SC barrel and receiver 1943 within 6 months of each other(...
