A late addition, but if anyone does need to go as far as repainting A WWII era American ammo can of any variety I would recommend the TM9 Ordnance Products line of paints, now sold by Midwest...
Congrats!
Wow, I see now that that might have been the deal of the century!
I figured, thanks!
Congrats Lance,
Very notable acquisition, glad you posted it.
I saw that come up on the auction site and was considering if I should notify the various Enfield forums that it was out there if it...
Reviving this from the dead to say that if we could nail down the correct species I would almost be inclined to try it out on a sporterized
Mk I needing furniture or a forend someday.
Thanks for...
Thanks! I missed any splash it made when it came out.
I have not been able to compare a chapter by chapter page count: Does it have the same amount of Lanchester content as the "Guns of Dagenham"?
Any further updates gentlemen?
I know these things take loads of work and time to come to fruition and that there are extenuating circumstances and covid.
I am always interested in a copy but not...
Both neat pictures.
That certainly could be, although half of my interest in this hobby is observing really OCD details.
Do you mean they were widely used?
Sorry, I also realized I was...
I would like to cross post this one more time with an update in case anyone does not want to follow the other thread.

Thread with the same seller...
Well here is the latest:
"CANADIAN LONG BRANCH ENFIELD No4 Mk1* T SNIPER RIFLE"
https://www.gunbroker.com/item/959384597
I love the appeals to sources.
He is basically trolling the forum...
Oh yeah, I am not alleging that every single lithgow ever made was upgraged for MkVII ammo, just that it makes me and it sounds like you also more suspicious that a little bit of that sold rifle...
Thats not very nice of them, especially since back then they could put the country of origin stamp all over the place.
He sold the front No 4 Mk I (T) pad with the chopped receiver as well.
I have seen these gunbusters type sellers before.
Not real motivational to the responsible firearms owners out there to...
I was wondering if I would get a reply as to what happened and why if I messaged him before the pitchforks and torches came out.
Or messaging him to at least tell the buyers of completed listings...
True, I am always suspicious of faked or mismatched volley sights. I noticed that in the listing and then totally forgot about that before I posted it here as a shining example. Odd also that the...
Well this is a new wrinkle on the arisaka for me. Makes the verdict on the guy pretty final in my opinion.

I am still, still not over the less savory antiques and firearms dealers and sellers writing entire encyclopedias in their descriptions, starting with the whole history of the entire category of the...
Nice Lithgow "true" Mk III rifle sold. Not so common in that condition maybe.
I like dogs myself but the pictures of pets thing on ebay or gunbroker always gets me.
"Oh the seller has a dog or cat? Let me pay three times the price because they must be an alright guy and...
That seller always seems to be flogging reproduction wood that he acts like they are one offs.
Not sure if he is making any of them himself or just selling on Prestigious Wood Stocks products.
The condition is nice. It would be interesting if someone would dive into the French archives and check out the provenance story.
When I saw this one, I kind of thought some damned dirty ape army armorer from The Planet of The Apes got their stinking paws on this No 5.
Congrats, (maybe?) I saw that No3 Mk1* (T) A stock on U.S. Ebay and wondered how may viewers knew what they were looking at; or how many forum members noticed it.
That was for a pretty specific...
Interesting, so that's one source.
BVZ24 are you ordering one of their stocks in?
Looks nice, I'd be interested in how it compares to say the Prestigious Wood Stocks Mk I wood.
Interesting, I believe I have seen pictures of servicemen posing with them both ways including some of them featuring a finish shiny enough to be blueing.
