Correct Alan. I was looking at the pic of your rifle; I thought that was the OP's rifle

If you zoom in, there is an "SKN" serial number on top of the receiver wall.

Skeleton action it is!

I was finally able to make it to the range today. It was a little warmer than expected, so I was encountering a persistent mirage at 300 yards. After a few small adjustments (I eventually had to set...

So after the first range trip, I spent the following days focusing the scope in my garage. Once I was able to obtain a crisp picture, I loaded up a fresh batch of loads and made it to the range.

The first two targets were both at 100; the first two were Indian KF 1947 ammo. The next were with a handload. The last target was 200 yards. I plan on taking it out on sunday for another shoot. Now...

Yes sir, out of focus. When I got back home, I scoured these forums on how to focus these scopes. Easier than I thought. The lock screw on the focus cover plate was loose, and with each pull of the...

Well, I took this rifle out to the range today. I found the section in Skennertons "The British Sniper" on how to zero this scope in its mount. Pretty straight forward, but nerve wracking. I...

From what I've read, the scopes were old recycled patterns originally fitted to the SMLE Mk III sniper rifles of WW1. The scopes still bear the serial number of the SMLE they were originally fitted...

Hello all,

First time posting on this forum, though I'm somewhat of a regular on the enfield forum. I just picked this up yesterday after winning it at a local auction. It's a P-14 redesignated to...

A no 4 handguard could be made to work, depending on your woodworking skills (lap-joint?). Prestigious Wood in Canada make a reproduction No5 handguard for $58. A stamped No 4 barrel band will work...

That is a beautiful and rare rifle!

I had the day off today to I decided to make a late afternoon trip to the range. I took three early SMLE 's with me. From top to bottom:
SMLE Mk I*, produced by Enfield in 1904
SMLE ConD II,...

Well, I couldn't resist posting my trio of BSA's. From top to bottom, A MLE MK I (Without a safety on the cocking piece), A CLLM Mk I*, and an SMLE MK III (With cut-off and matching adjustable rear...

Your best bet is to check out Ross Rifle Restoration. They list a long lee stock replacement set for $375. The other small parts show up every now and again on the various auction sites. Sometimes,...

Thanks for that. I lost just under 1/2 inch of stock. Thankfully, the gunsmith who installed the pad cut back just enough wood to get a flat mounting surface, then added a (approximately) 7/16 inch...

I wouldn't call this a restoration; more of a minor correction back to it's original configuration. This rifle came to me four months ago. I was at my local range and an older gentleman saw that I...

Have No32 Mk 3 scope 17352 & bracket looking for rifle C35654

This rifle was the subject of a previous thread from November of 2022. Its authenticity was called into question back then, and there was a consensus from the forum members this rifle was not...

Well put! This is a pretty stupid state, but the food is great!

I opened up the drivers door to peek inside, and I was amazed at how small the crew and driver areas are. There was no way my 200...

First time posting on this board; and here's a real rarity (in this part of the world). A Humber Pig in southern california.

This is owned by a manager of a local shooting range I frequent. He...

Hey Bindi, I'm seeing 1627 on both barrel/receiver, although the numbers on the receiver look to have more surface wear and may have partially obliterated from years of hard use. At least to me, they...

Very nice score! The Siamese contract rifles are a unique find, when you CAN find them.

I have only seen three in my lifetime. The first one I had ever seen was at a gunshow in 1994, and I quickly...

No serial number under the buttplate. There is only a 4-digit number under the bolt handle, but that's it.

I wandered into a local gun shop a few months back and spotted a Ross Mk II. It was missing the rear handguard, front sight protector, and had an incorrect rear sight installed. The rifle reeked of...

(Late to this conversation once again...)

BVZ24:
The trials sight has the distinctive superimposed E within F within D mark. The standard No4 sights are marked with F for Fazakerley, B for BSA,...
