Thanks everyone. So I think I heard a couple conflicting opinions on this.

Sounds like it could be a cadet service rifle and others observed have had similar text used for the SN and similar...

Hello everyone

Been quite a while since I've posted. Anyway, quite a few years back, I got a Lithgow No.1 Mk III* in a private sale on an online sales board. Its been somewhat puzzling to me and...

It's painted on the inside brim of the liner in white over black paint. It should be the first picture in the imgur album.

I agree, the helmet is not very secure on the head.

I'm wondering if it was done at some point by some foreign country. The fact that I bought it from Numrich gun parts makes me think it's not been messed with by some re-enactor or anything. I could...

Pictures: USGI M1 Steel Pot Helmet - Album on Imgur

I bought this front seamed USGI pot helmet and liner from Numrich a while back and I'm trying to learn a bit about its history. From what I...

Thank you! I went ahead and ordered 380 Enfield No. 2 Revolver to learn more, and I'll keep browsing the forums, thank you!

Hello everyone!

Here is an Imgur Album: Enfield No.2 MkI* - Imgur

I recently picked up an Enfield No.2 MkI* made in 1942. I am curious to know a bit about the history, what the markings all...

Thank you! One more question: Do you have any idea what type of wood the Lee Enfield is wearing? The wood grain does not look like the typical walnut or beechwood that you often see on military...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the third picture that you listed appears to show casting imperfections (unless its pitting from rust). All USGI receivers were forged steel and a forging would...

Great, thank you!

For the K98 I'm still debating what I should do, would the original finish just be unstained wood with a BLO finish?

For the Lee Enfield I have already started cleaning off...

I have a few old milsurps that have been tampered with and I'd like to ask what should be done.

The first is a bzn 41 german k98, the only issue is it's bolt is MM and the sight hood and cleaning...

Thanks everyone, as of now, I will not change a thing about it! I still really want to find out where this thing came from and what's been done to it. I really need to check out the stock for marks...

soyarm, the date code and letter code (bnz. 41) when I looked it up indicated it was made in austria in 1941. I gave a link to an Imgur album because the image uploader was not working for me. The...

Hey everyone, been a while since I've posted but I'd like to ask everyone a question about a Russian capture I picked up a while ago for a good price. All I know is that the gun was made in Steyr...

Jim, Thanks for the information! I took a looks through there and there's lots of interesting stuff to read about these guns.

I've searched the front sight post for marks and have not been able...

I've searched the front sight post using a magnifier to look for faint marks and have not found any? I've heard that unmarked sight posts were made by Winchester, could this be the case here?

The...

I recently bought an Inland Division M1 Carbine marked 12-43. It has a flat bolt, type III barrel band, flip safety, and M marked mag release with two circles about it. The seller told me that there...
