    The left hand picture shows the Model 1918 scope but with the Australian style lens caps from WW2. The British WW1 style is a simple single strap. The scope on the right, although made by the same...

    PH5C sights

    Be careful because the early PH5C sights were made with half minute clicks. From the mid 1960's they were made in quarter minute clicks. Hence the need to be able to read a vernier scale - see...

    Early M73B1 for 1903A4

    This is the 2nd early 1st batch M73B1 scope that I have acquired in the UK. I put that down to the fact that the first units to be issued these rifles were the Rangers and Paratroopers/Glider...

    I think you are right and Canfield is mistaken. What he shows as a Spalding on page 175 of US Military Bolt Action Rifles is in fact a Hurlburt. Canfield goes on to say that the Spalding cartridge...

    Skennerton's book - The British Sniper has some line drawings of the scope and mounts but it is quite difficult to read the sizes shown. I'll see if I can dig something out of my files. In the...

    Interesting .303 MkII round of ammunition

    I purchased 170 rounds of .303 MkII ball ammunition and only one of them had this hollow point nose. I wonder if it is a MkII* or Special as produced by Dum Dum and Woolwich but the E would suggest...

    coachwood SMLE butt

    This might prove to be a good match. Looks like Coachwood with Australian markings and made by Slazenger. For the bigger framed it is also a long butt.

    Given the original between the wars sale out of service then a Central sight would be a good match as it was originally patented in 1934. Probably the best demountable target sight for the SMLE. ...
