Most probably a walnut, I would say black walnut.
It is a lighter shade than usual but even with the unclear photo I don't think it's Birch.
Birch has more a yellow than the shade in your stock.
G'Day guybod1,
I am a couple hours down the road from you.
I have had a couple of Marden seniors Martini cadets, both in .218 Bee.
I also had a Marden senior M17 in 25/303.
Marden was from that...
Trail Boss is the go,
The bulk density is larger than comparable powders.
Trail Boss, because of it's bulk density rules out double charges and eliminates the need for fillers to keep the powder...
G'Day all, I must say I am enjoying the thread.
A bit off topic but anyway.
My neighbors father is 96 years old, he fought in Greece in WW2 when the Germans invaded.
He narrowly escaped with a few...
I am in Australia, not quite sure whats available in your neck of the woods.
If you have someone local who deals with auto paint, good place to start.

Don't freak out but this is what I do.
Use a good paint stripper, not the environmentally friendly stuff, the good gear with the chemicals, USE CHEM GLOVES.
Remove anything...

What I meant was, don't tell me it's an MLE!
I reckon it could be.
Lee Enfield Cavalry Carbine MKI*? NZ?
Lee Metford.
I do believe that when you do good, good is done in return.
Congratulations!
G'Day everyone.
Yesterday was a top day, there was little wind and had I nothing better to do so I went to the rifle range.
The main reason I went was to work out where my No4Mk2[F] was shooting at...

I am unsure if the rifle has an 03 or 03A3 barrel fitted, the rifle has the 03 front and rear sight.
I ask the questions to try and identify what I have as I do not have a clue.
What is...

I really feel sorry for you blokes that have it bad.
NOT rubbing it in, but where I live there are no shortage of places to shoot.
The closest range facility where I am a member has about 6...
G'Day all,
I am little confused about a 1903rifle I own, whilst trying to find out a bit about this rifle it has been mentioned that it has a 1903A3 barrel on it.

G'Day everyone,
A good while back I purchased a Rock Island Arsenal 1903.
I will first declare that am no expert on the 1903 and variants, the sole reason for buying this rifle was that I wanted...

I have sentimental's that have been...
Yep, not bad living here just to damn cold in winter.
Got plenty of open space here to shoot, I can shoot on all the neighbours farms whenever I want and the closest range is only 15 min away where...
"Not many 25/303s made" sorry but wrong.
We all know that necessity is the mother of all inventions, this is why we have the 25/303.
Because of restriction, the huge availability of smle's and a...
Very nice, Mudgee

Thanks again.
