No.4 Mk.1* Sniper at last....

Well, that's the way it was described to me anyway! Really is more likely a purpose made target rifle. Interesting PH5C sight....has a screw in glass optic a different butt shape, a front sight protector and a target sling (web but a bit wider than issue and has leather ends). It is marked LB 1945 and has not been FTR'd....but the bolt, while marked LB, is not serialed. S/N on butt strap is also not a LB number. All parts are marked with C and broad arrow and LB. What is it?
PS - I will add images when someone tells me how. I tried but why are these boards not all the same on inserting images!!! Da%*#@d things.

2. Uploading images directly to milsurps.com.

When starting a new thread, add whatever text you wish to include in the text box and then scroll down the page to "Additional Options." When making a new reply to an existing post, click the "New Reply" button or click on the "Go Advanced" button in the "Quick Reply" box, add your text (if any) and scroll down the page to "Additional Options."

You will see a button that says "Manage Attachments", click on this button and a new window will open. You have two options at this point:

a) Upload File from your Computer. This allows you to upload an image directly to milsurps.com from your computer. Use the "Browse" button and find the file you wish to upload. Click on the file you wish to upload then click "Open", then "Upload." The image will then be automatically included in your post. Click "Preview Post" to view the post, including the image.

b) Upload File from a URL. This is to upload an image hosted somewhere like photobucket.com. Paste the URL of the image into the box and click "Upload". Your image will be automatically included in your post. Click "Preview Post" to view the post, including the image.

All members, regardless of level, are limited to 10 uploaded images per individual posting.

Registered Members are restricted to a total uploaded image storage limit of 2 Megabytes, which can be personally managed by image and post.
Contributing Members have no uploaded image storage limitations.

Should you reach your storage limit, you will need to delete images from the milsurps.com server before you can upload more. To manage your uploaded images go to your User CP and click on "Attachments" in the Miscellaneous section on the left side of the CP page. This will display the number, name and size of the images you've uploaded. You can select the images you wish to delete by checking the box for each image, then clicking "Delete Selected" to remove them.

Images uploaded to the MILSURPS.COM server will appear as a "thumbnail" image like the one below. Click on the thumbnail to view the image full size.

As Stevo explained, it's pretty simply to upload JPG images of under 100k in size directly for storage on MILSUPRS.COM.

You can also use the standard IMG tags used on every bulleting board and host the actually pics yourself someplace.

There's a feature uniquely available here using Thumbnail tags that make it easy for you to have your own hosted pics displayed as small thumbnails, but members can click on them to make them full size. It works just like IMG tags but using TMB tags instead.

So, there's lots of options. Just read the threads in the Q&A - VBBS Bulletin Board Software (click here) :thup:

I pulled the LB target rifle down today and cleaned the dust. Barrel is marked LB and 44 and appears to be park'd as it is grey. Receiver is blued and also marked LB. The serial number appears on close inspection to have been 8XL16XX which would also correspond to the year...1945. Bolt cocking piece and body have three LB markings but there is and has never been a serial number in the usual place. Even the trigger guard and the wood are stamped LB. Condition is lovely with little wear. Still no pics....why does every forum have to be different? Like going to the debit machine and no two are alike!

Dante,
If you're not having any luck with the pics I can post them for you. Email them to stevo@milsurps.com and I'll get them up this evening. Just make sure they're 250kb or less so they don't take forever to mail.

This forum is no different then CGN, or any other VBBS system "right out of the box".... :D

If you can display pics on CGN using standard pic IMG tags, then you can do it here exactly the same way?

I checked CGN and I notice your posting there under Dantforth with pics of this rifle (same serial number).

I simply clicked the "QUOTE" button and pasted the result here (eliminating extraneous IMG tages), so you can see it works the same as CGN. Click the Quote >> button at the bottom right of this post and you can see what the code looks like to post your pics. :)

BTW, just for demonstration sake, I changed the IMG tages to be TMB for thumbnails and displayed the same pics of your rifle below the first set of large ones.

If you're still having trouble, I'd be happy to call you on the phone and talk you through posting a sample pic .... contact me via PM.... :thup:

Hope this helps.... :)

Badger

I do hope these show up. This late in the day is not good for me. I'll try. This is the "sniper" but really a target model I guess.

A lot of people seem to believe that any No4 with the MkI rear sight is a "sniper" rifle....
