Brian Good Eye, i didn't see that to start with and it does look like a B, hopefully that's a good thing. I guess i'll have to do a close up of that so i can get ya'lls opinion.

Otherwise i'll have to wait for a better camera.
The one you have should be OK. Try using ambient light rather than flash. (Outside on a cloudy day is best.) That will eliminate the flash glare. Second put the shutter release more slowly so that you camera can focus before the shutter opens.Quote:

BSA No.4Mk.1 rifles built in 1941-1942 only had a "B" stamped over the date on the left side of the butt socket. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I think the M47C production code wasn't applied until 1943 through the duration of wartime production in 1945 and of course post WWII until 1947 on the No.5Mk.1 .
It was only Cocked because i had pushed the bolt home, so i didn't grime up the chamber when i rolled it over for the picture. The only things i keep loaded/cocked are pistols.
As for the pictures my cell phone is what i used on those last pics, i don't have the options you described but thank you anyway.
So much for "withdrawn from service and destroyed".
Just a trick from the "old days" of analogue photography:
Secure a small piece of white tissue (as in "kleenex" type) paper over the lense of the flash element. Basic "Scotch" tape works fine and a single layer of tissue is often enough.
This acts as a diffuser or "scrim" and reduces "hot-spots" and harsh shadows.
If you are using a "real" camera that can trigger an external flash, you can go wild with one or more flash guns and either use a diffuser as above or point the unit(s) backwards and bounce the light off a panel of styrofoam or white card.
And then there is "PhotoShop"................
Will definitely have to try that, i was going to take it out to the range today until i found out i could get two boxes of ammo online cheaper if i had the patience. Guess i'll have to take my Mosin out.
Hope this works
GRRRRRRRRRR that sucks
I wouldn't worry tooooo much Cobra. The major mistake you're making is that of calling a phone a camera when what you really need is a camera!
