I volunteer at The American Legion to clean, repair & service rifles. At this month's meeting an older Verteran handed me a WWII bring back flintlock pistol which he stated his father retrieved from...
Would you fine gentlemen recommend a book for an enquistive noob with intentions of researching before purchasing his first FN-FAL. I'd ask a more pointed question but I am hesitant to show my...
I suspect your forward upper fore end is on backwards. That aside, it looks great! What ammo were you shooting, at what distance and what kind of groups were you getting?
Not to beleagure the obvious, but since it is marked DP isn't it a wall hanger?
What is it worth being NZ marked as well as "US Property" marked?
I tried to key word search here for US...

New Zealand Property marked Savage No4 Mk1 Rifle - CMP Forums
Now THAT is funny. Still can't believe dude pulled the trigger on that DP rifle. Sad day in America when a guy named Bubba is dissapointed by what somone did to a gun...
I got around to test firing the "Out of Spec" rifle. Lovingly cradled in the old saw horse, aimed directly at a 20' high earthwork, remote fired with 200' of bailing twine. It went off perfectly. ...
Friend of mine has a 2nd hand store. he recently took in an "N. Starr" Model 1816 converted to Caps lock via a Bolster Method. I'm looking for info before I post a thread with pics here. ...
Put it on the shelf and call it lesson learned. Go to ammoman.com and get yourself 200 rounds of Prvi Partisan .303 British in 150 or 174 grain, Boxer Primed, reloadable brass & non-corrosive. ...
A good suggestion and something I have been doing already. For the record I'm not bagging on the Lee Enfield with the question here in anyway. I merely felt the thread was taking a conversational...
Looks like I'll keep going to Yard/Garage Sales and asking if they have any old Military stuff around... Do you guys have any thoughts on Yugo Capture K98 Mausers". Seems like German Mausers are...
I'm new to Enfields, sort of, I mean to say I recently acquire dmy first but have seen and shot them here and there over the years. They seem to be everywhere. As well prices vary widely dependingon...
BTT for a thread I want to visite next week
Yes Please, I used the google search function tied to this page per Badger's suggestion elsewhere. The EMER C-308 information this forum turned up relates to the No. 4 rifle only. I assume the...
Hi Badger,
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it, I reviewed most of, if not all of those threads already. I suspect I am going wrong by not asking my question well. I have improved my question...
This is my first Lee Enfield. I recently acquired this 1918 RSAF No.1 MKIII* for $100 U.S. I bought it from a friend whom said an older guy brought itround, whom said he was given it by a neighbor...
What are the various markings to indicate Drill Purpose on Lee Enfield? Painted or Stamped DP on the stock and what else?
K 54? - CMP Forums
Basically 30-06 ammo made by Kynoch in 1953 & 1954 had a manufacturing flaw which results in the cases splitting or case head separation. No dtaes or lot numbers are known to...
I tried the search function but did not come up with anything concrete. Is there a British .303 Head Stamp & Corrosive/Non-corrosive and/or safe to shoot ammo index/list chart? I have a box of "POF...
