I was planning on removing the complete foresight block and leaving the barrel full length unless it impinged so much on the line of sight that shoot was very difficult. I was also going to start...

Folks, thank you the superb info.

As you probably guess, I'm planning on building up a recreation of a CEF sniping rifle. I will probably modify a set of blocks left over from a batch that I...

Thanks, but no help, as it shows a sporting rifle with the rear block on the rear bridge, where the aperture backsight would have been. Interesting set-up having the adjustment at the front end.

What's a Hythe sight worth these days? I have a couple in my parts box.

Patrick, as you're probably well aware the various aspects of legislation affecting firearms in the UK (and probably in lots of other countries) are not consistent. Her Majesty's Custom & Excise...

Thanks Badger. That's where I went first. However I'd like to narrow the date of manufacture more closely than "50,000 manufactured between 1910 and 1914". Webster's marvellous book on Argentine...

Hi,

Does anyone have any info. linking serial numbers of Peruvian M1909 rifles with date of manufacture? I've just bought an unfired rifle in super condition: serial number 16xxx. If it's mre...

Hi,

Sorry to butt in, but Ive got an '03 with a close serial number: 1 254 405. It's got a star-gauged barrel (SA 4-28), Winchester-pattern scope blocks on the barrel and receiver ring (7.2...

Folks,

I've recently acquired a very nice Argentine M1891 Mauser rifle (cal. 7.65 x 53mm) and need to handload to put it back into use on the range.

I've a good supply of 174gr and 190gr...
