When correctly zeroed the shots should strike about 2 inches to the right of the point of aim. This parallel aspect should be maintained at all distances. Whilst it is possible to obtain a point of...

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...
If we go on a Thursday do you thinks Dave would come too?
I thought I'd better back up my claim that the Combined Military Services Museum in Maldon is 2nd only to the National Firearms Collection in Leeds. It probably just pips the Warminster Small Arms...

You might want to try the Combined Military Services Museum at Maldon in Essex Combined Military Services Museum You can probably catch a train there from London (48 miles). It has a massive...
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...
I picked up this little spring steel sight attachment which is marked M 4 .297/.230
I understand that the M 4 indicates Morris Tubes designed to fit .303 barrels. The next question is which rifle...
You probably need one of these a correct windage adjustable rear sight as fitted to Charger Loading Lee Enfields.
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...
I recently acquired what I believe to be a Spanish-American War volunteer pattern 50 round canvas Krag .30-40 cartridge belt made by Spalding & Bros. For its age it is in remarkable condition. It is...
Thanks for your input guys. The web with leather tabs is what I would have expected to see on an Enforcer but as you can see from the D11 document the sling has a buckle and holes in what can only be...
I have recently acquired an ex-Met Police D11 Firearms Unit document on the Enfield Enforcer. In it is a picture of an Enforcer with a sling. The sling is similar to but also unlike the web ones I...
The last 6 or 7 chapters are taken from letters HV wrote to his wife during WW1 - very revealing and facinating to compare the same events he talks about in Sniping in France.
Hotchkiss M1922 , M1924 and M1926 LMG. Could be fed either through the top mounted mag (SMLE 20 round was one type but the Spanish had a mag for 7x57) or variations could use the usual side-feeding...
This was on a dealer's table at the Kempton Park fair in the UK. It is only the 2nd time I've seen one in the flesh. Pouches are dated 1916. Mag is marked Linley & Co. The asking price seemed to...
You are right Mick - it was me using a Shell Dressing as a cheek rest. It was my go to method before the mine detector pad.
Width of the hole is 3.45mm or 0.1355" Depth is 7.35mm or 0.289". The hole seems to have been partly filled with beeswax or some similar material.
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...
Having tried one of these forearm pads from the box holding the complete equipment schedule for a British Mk4 Mine Detector - it took 4 years to find one. The pad would be fitted to the operator's...
I have a spare M.E.Co 1936 sling (Mills Equipment Company) in usable condition.
If I could trade t for an English Walnut long butt I would.
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. ...
