Got Word from Clay on another site:
" 303's are ready...
Lipseys rep was in touch today. Looks like the 303's are on the way to them. Still a few weeks before I see them as they need to go through...

Here's a few pics:

Today I bought at auction, a match holstered Colt New Service revolver in .455 Eley. Serial number: 76***
On the back strap was stamped the original owner's name: Lieut. D.E.S. Wishart. With it also...

Out on the Harley on St. Patty's Day and on Friday. Shooting clays at the club this morning with a very light flurry for half an hour. Nothing stayed on the ground though...

Ruger has decided to manufacture the No.1 A in .303 British (.311 bore). Here in Canada, Clay Smiley at Prophet River Firearms is now taking $400 deposits. The price as quoted by him will be $1279.95...

"YOU SAY A CHICKEN CANNON DID THIS?"... (Royal Canadian Airfarce)

Nice looking pistol. That 22.5 % buyers premium hurts though... What is involved in owning a pistol like that in the U.K. now? I assume its possible under sections 5 & 7 as quoted in the auction...

Still no word from Clay, as I believe both he & Lipseys are waiting for a hard answer from Ruger....

Dido, I'm attached to a specific squadron. For the most part I'm treated better by the military than my own company...;) Great people to work for!

It appears to me to be the correct stock. Albeit, it may have been sanded and refinished at one time. Any mark under the cut off?

The finish appears to be the same, but the bolt has a park finish! & no stenciled number apparent as well. Reversed safety though... I just hatched out a deal for it this afternoon & will probably...

Didn't follow me home today but am promised pics. I will post as soon as I get them...

Thanks for that info. If my memory serves me right, it was more of a black to gray finish. But I will be having a second look & possible purchase later this afternoon. It resembles more of a NRA...

Going for a second look at an 03 N.M. I suspect has been sporterized some where down the road, as it is documented as a 1922 N.M. by Springfield Research Service, & has a black park type finish & a...

I would take either model, but have to say that a carbine (RSI) would be my last choice as well...

I would say that they are indeed the people you would need to talk to. According to Clay, today he has over 150 confirmations to buy in Canada.:D

Sorry it took so long to reply but I was tasked to Panama City Fl. for the week. The model looks like it will be either an 'A' Light Sporter with a 22" barrel or an 'S' model (medium weight barrel)...

Talking with Clay today. He has about 110 confirmations on said rifle. Lipsey's is excited with this project and their both waiting to hear back from Ruger. I think he'll have enough orders to make a...

I struck up a post over on CGN about the idea of having a Canadian Edition Ruger No.1 in .303 British & it was posted by another that maybe the serial numbers should start 1867-****. Well it's...

It's amazing what a fishing net will pull up...:super::p

At one point this rifle was 1903 Springfield built in 1917 (serial no. 690***). It appears to be an early custom model 30-06. But from when & whom are my questions. I've looked at some Griffith &...

Eagles may soar high, but Weasels never get suck into jet engines....

I think a lot of us on both sides of the border are starting to find a new respect for the State of Montana...

As stated in another thread along time ago... I currently only own one 1911 & that's the one I've posted on this site. I've owned different 1911's in the past, but I believe this is the first...

Beautiful pistol & beautiful picture. You state that it's probably never been holstered, but has it even seen that many rounds? Do the majority pistols in your collection get fired or do you have...
