I just heard that they found about 7500 russian capture k98's down by the black sea in russia?
Is this true?
Thanks!!
heres my pride, my 1909 bsa mkIII. its all matching down to the cocking piece. theres a little bit of freckling on the knox, but thats it. the bore is amazing for a 101 year old rifle. ill have to...
check ebay, right now they have quite a few complete volley sight sets, im going to get a 1901 MLE i a few weeks, metfords MLE's and early smle mkIII's are by far my favorite.
nice smle jollygreenslug, it looks like it has a little bit of rust on the reciever. you might want to swab some gun solvent on it. it will kill the rust and prevent more rust from forming, but it...
yep, thats me, im just dying for an early lithgow though.
I know, but I cant find one and hes the only one that has them with queenslsand maple stocks
im going to buy a 1915 lithgow from him w/cut off and volley sights because I cant find one anywhere else
its south african marked.
wow, i have a 1909 bsa with cutoff and volley sights that almost looks as good as that. WOW!!!
what do you think? im not sure what euroarms means by 'shutter not mono" ?
Thanks!!
does anyone know the history behind south african no.1 mkIII, did any have volley sights?
ive never seen one like that, thanks!!
post pics of your ishapore's with volley sights
thats sad especialy the lee metfords, i wonder if any of the smle's had volley sights?
after i got the smle 1909 I am undecided about wether to get an LSA 1911 all matching with cut off and volley sights or a lee metford mod 1888 witch I cant seem to find?
Thanks!!
yeah, i noticced that too, i want to get a leather sling from IMA. and im trying to look for some early stripper clips.
Thanks!!
ive posted a few more pics
it does not have HV nor sc behind the rear sight, the barrel is also dated 1909 and the magazine is an early mkI
your smle would actually be worth more if its a mkIII even though there were more mkIII's made than mkIII* at LSA, oh and does that royal marine have volley sights, i would love to have pics.

my 1909 bsa
yes, but your LSA 1917 is not as rare as the early LSA's with volley sights and cut off, early as in 1908-1915
every single serial number matches down to the cocking piece, the serial number is U54446.
$1200 is a little steep for me, i paid $800 for my beutiful 1909 bsa all matching down to the cocking piece, with cut off and volley sights. it just depends on how bad you want it.
