Wow that is very interesting gonna hit the range this weekend with it. I think I will enjoy it.
Hi There, Which specific mark are you referring to? Regards,Pete
I think the cut off has been removed although as I don't know what they look like in detail I am sure that the lever has been removed at least. Seems a really nice addition to my Enfields and until I...
Many Thanks for the great info. Barrel length seems approx 22". The sight appears to be in it's original position on the barrel unless it was very professionally moved which seems to confuse me when...
Took the wood off and found a few more marks.5835558356583575835858359
Picked this up at the local club swap meet today. Always one for the weird stuff it spoke to me as it was on the table next to mine. This is fresh ground for me so any info and opinions would be...
Wow is that actually a hole or corrosion pitted the rifling.
Well that makes me feel better. Very very faint electro-stencil but you can see 17720:dancing banana:

Thanks Peter, Any thoughts about the markings? Would they bugger about re=stamping the year? That seems a mess. Not that it matters but it's nice to get your thoughts. Would I be right in assuming...
Picked up a nice No4. MK1. Numbers match except bolt (no # just an "F") and Magazine. Store sold it as a 1941 but tough to tell from the markings. It appears to have been FTR'd twice, First by Maltby...
5082350824Thanks for the info. Well on the subject of bayonets I did pick up a nice one at a local show yesterday. I have been looking for one for a while. If I read the markings correctly it is a...
Yes I noticed when doing a search on here that the rounded off points were mentioned. The listing I saw today was Indian and still had a sharp point. Bayonets of any type seem to cost more than a...
I see many bayonets on the various auction sites that have the yellow or white DP Bands on them. While obviously understanding the meaning of DP on a rifle, what would be the point of marking a...
Alrighty I do have a question and a comment.
I have wandered through the myriad posts and threads on the topic as directed and leaving aside the emotional outbursts, closed threads and cut and paste...
As I read all of the threads such as this I had a couple of questions about the process that was used. Lets assume that the OPs rifle was deemed "ZF" and is today still in the original configuration...
50352Interesting thread. Got me thinking that I had not noticed an import mark on mine. I only got it a few weeks ago so still exploring. Some I see on line have crude import marks on the receiver...
Oops sorry forgot the picture48761 The Ruger 10/22 photo-bombed the picture sorry about that.
Congratulations and happy birthday. I guess we must be kindred spirits. I posted this on another forum on New Years Day
Took myself down the the range this morning. Unusual for Florida we had a...
Well Happy New Year to all. Gonna start the New year off at the range today with a new to me 42 Longbranch. But first will fire a blank 303 through my 1914 LSA to celebrate 100 years. (Yep Blank as...

Peter, I have followed the various posts about the DP and ZF Marked rifles over the last few months and read some of the earlier threads. Thank goodness the knowledge is being passed on so that...
Well the sniper rifles are way out of my reach but then the bog standard nothing special run of the mill No1s and No4s locally in my area of Florida are spiraling upwards. At the local show last...
eBay has one for the Ishapore that replaces the complete rear site bed. ($78) I thought that was a great idea but decided to make one that mounted in place of the sight ladder using key stock drilled...
Welcome Count. I am a newcomer here myself and have to agree that there is a wealth of knowledge to be had here. I only started collecting and shooting rifles 2 years ago at the grand old age of...
I had wonderful fun just shooting blank rounds. But really it will just sit as a collectable until I can can talk someone into making me some shells.
