Perhaps these were a non-returnable item, and a short-term issue at that?

After all, they wouldn't be of much use unless plenty of scrim or vegetation was attached, and once it was, who would...

Interesting piece. It may be a WWII rework for Canadian Army use from the serial number added to the barrel and the replacement stock.

The case is totally spurious of course.

Too bad the stock has been "restored", but appears to be an interesting transitional piece from the MkII to MkIII.

Except for the aperture screwed onto the leaf, the sight appears to be a standard...

Would a scan of the photo be possible?

I suspect they make what they used to make for the Italian or other European governments, and no more.

Probably the same reason there's so many vids of those cranes tipping over.

I had a boat moved by a Hiab truck recently; kid had no spreader despite being told ahead of time. Fortunately I'm...

I'm not a C3 fan, but that's very impressive work!:thup:

It's had a long, hard life, and has seen some neglect even after the FTR by the rust on the barrel reinforce.

Is the bolt serial numbered to the action? If electro-pencilled it's probably a...

And as on Crete, sometimes others found it first, or covered it with fire and picked off those drawn to the bait.

Night sight or muzzle cover on the left hand rifle?

The "EY" marking being "Emergency Use Only". Draw your own conclusions from that.

All the same to me Ian!;) Could be a bird - there is what might be the representation of an eye - even a few indentations that might be an allusion to feathers there on the 'shoulder'. The 'head'...

The menuki look a bit like one of Hiroshige's waves behind that shell and the fat little fellow might be Hotei, a good luck deity IIRC.

Or maybe Bodai Daruma, but Hotei is sometimes shown with...

Once you've done the chamber cast you'll know if you have a wildcat based on the .280 case or something else.

We're the wrong people to ask, it's your countrymen you want to ask.

And at this late date, I suspect the only Krads or parts that are going to be found will be in farmers barns or fields or...

What did a sporterization involve in that case?

By the way, knowing there had been a large gunshop in Vancouver, BC, from the late 1800s to at least the 1930s, named Tisdall's, and it being an...

I was assuming a Mk.2 on the basis of that tapered concavity at the front of the bevel/shoulder below the markings: a feature I always took to be unique to Mk.2's, but perhaps I'm mistaken about...

There may be a quite decent No4 Mk2 under the Tremclad brush-job and hashed up wood. The scratchings may be Bubba's attempt to redo what he had painted over, or perhaps a POF rifle pretending to be...

So what does the "CTN" refer to then?

A lot of those rifles came into Canada thirty or so years ago. Some without scopes, some without even bases. I had a stripped barrelled receiver at one point with the flat and two up one down holes...

The issue with the dents is that they make it extremely difficult to get the scope apart if it ever needs to. At one time I had a set of drifts made for doing that on No32 tubes. On the other...

I'd respectfully suggest that your second and third paragraphs be confined to a PM sent to the man himself.

And no offence intended of course.:cheers:

...Can Anyone Tell Me About The Caledonia Works in this Photo?...

Long Branch birch forend and probably the handguard too. The CE1967 is the code for maker of the handguard cap. Not sure who that code is for, but Canadian Cycle & Motor Ltd. made a great deal of...

Makes me wonder again why the UK made rifles were not also just struck with a similar stamp the way the early Maltby's were. That electro-pencil business certainly can't have been cheaper or...
