Acquired at English auction, appreciate all comments. No visible serial number, '28’ stamped on rear sight ladder and stock side of cocking lever (partial serial number?) 'Laingsburg' was a Boer...
Purchased, came with bonus reference book 'THE LIBERATOR PISTOL by Ralph Hagan. I will of course pay a premium for an original floor plate. Semper Fi , Don
They were not serial numbered, there are some small 'mold' marks including mold numbers, collecting gun Friday to show around as have 3 day inspection period, so I can put a box of white box thru...
Thanks for input and hello Brian, I've been out of touch. It's the real deal, $900???
Offered one last week, very good condition but no floor plate or accessories, a model 3 '3 hole' as per reference book, for $900. Should I walk away or run back? Thanks and Semper Fi, Don
Was offered one last week, vg condition but missing floor plate and no accessories, $900. Should I walk, or run back. It was a model 3, '3 hole'?
Not to detract from a lively debate about the 'Irish Contract', Calfed's wrapped rifle is UF 55 A15546. I've read on another British forum (ARRSE) that the 'Irish' rifles were in the 'PF' series,...
A friend just found some white bandoliers in an estate that are identical to the common cloth bandolier but white and with no markings whatsoever. I've never seen one and sorry I have no photo. Any...
I have completed the bipod/coupler/latch assembly, recently finding the missing latch. I've hidden that ugly sling away, what is the most correct sling for the Izzy HB?
Thanks, Don
Thanks for suggestion, email sent. Don
Just fled the Arizona heat for another lovely summer in England, and shopping for an L1A1 handguard set in the black pebble grain. Looking for a source, even in the States for that matter, as I'll...

We lost the Colonel several years ago, so many WW11 heros are departing....
Sorry Jim, didn't take a lot of photos as thought uniqueness was that it was purchased from the Corps in 1949, well before the DCM release. I wasn't aware an Officer could purchase a weapon in...
My friend Colonel Stratton (Major at the time) purchased several weapons from the Marine Corps, this one a 7-43 Underwood, as you can see purchased in 1949 for $31.26! Only upgrade appears to be the...
Thank you Midmichigun. I'm leaving Arizona for the summer, while the L1A1 is being built, hope to have hands-on and photos for you on my return in October. Will consider the fate of the CAI-SPORTER...
Mark at Arizona Response Systems, a respected valley builder, looked at it today, and noted the receiver is Argentine, only imported by CAI, worth $450 standing alone. Yes there is a bipod, but...
Found at this weekend's gun show, various 1942 head stamped (RG etc.) ammo possibly not original to box. Any member see this box before? Re-boxed in Greece post war? Just curious. Thanks, Don

Will be in our cottage in Twyford, Melton Mowbray, from May on. Cheers, Don

Perhaps it is suncorite and I just assumed oil blackened. Most of my suncorite finished Enfields are obvious due to that paint flaking wear appearance. Are the post war No.4Mk2's suncorite? If so...
What the heck could that 'FR' represent? Perhaps not military related? Any thoughts if it's not Fred's? Cheers, Don
Define 'riggers' please, I can only think of parachute riggers? Cheers, Don
Came across this case, not a stencil/stamp on it inside or out, unlined, talon zip. Could this be USGI or otherwise? Thanks, Don...
