Is there a way to research the unit and maybe possibly find out who was issued the rifle using the unit markings on the forward band?

I just saw a full length and the carbine think they were $800 and $600 in a gun shop in Ohio

Hello, just going to make a quick post about the new Enfield I bought today. I believe it is a Maltby, the serial number part of rough so it isnt easy to read. I have plenty of pictures just short...

Interesting! Its a CMP oiler, so I think I will keep it since it is something different!

Yes the dip stick is screwed in, but there is no washer actually I dont see any kind of ledge to put a washer!

Yes I totally agree, I appreciate the free forum, but I am personally tired of slow loading and no loading!

Folk, I got this oiler that different from all my others. Anyone know why? it has no markings on the bottom, a slotted top with smooth sides on the cap. sorry for the poor pictures from my cell...

well, I havent got around to buying new 8mm ammo, but I took the 150gr to my Mitchell mauser with excellent results!

I think I may have been mistaken, I had seen some rifles for like $200-250 but they may not have been mk3's? what should I expect to pay? I am more interested in a nice piece of history, thats...

I happened to be downstairs and noticed my 8mm ammo is 150 grain! so I guess this is the problem, to bad I have like a case of it!

Folks,

I have always been a fan of the Enfields, and I want a MKIII. I have seen them at the gun shows, but never know who to trust for one that is safe to fire. I have read alot about them on...

Interesting, it had been rebuilt by the greeks.

I saw a 1943 production receiver with a 1942 barrel on it at the CMP.. Must of had an old barrel lying around that need installed!

Ah! You say Steyr and that was it! This one had to be the long barreled, how do they shoot? what should I expect of one?

No not mint! The bluing is about all gone, but otherwise it looked good even the stock was decent with only 1 gash that I recall.

Folks,

I stopped by a Dunhams sports store while out of town, and they had a Mauser, LONG barrel, stamped 7.62 N. I believe it was Chile or Spanish Mauser, with the german on the left side of the...

Allan and Steve thanks for the quick responses. What are these markings and how do you know where it was made? I wont be buying another because the ammo isnt has cheap as I would liek and I doub t...

List,

I just picked this up from my father, and I was wondering about its history or who made it? All I know is that he told me it was made in India. Is it a WW2 era or something that was made...

Well, Unfortunately I took my mauser to the range, and was unimpressed to say the least!! It shot high which I expected at 100 yards, but it was like a shotgun pattern!!! I was really surprised...

A little followup on this, I had two M1's with loose rear sites, and I took them both to the ran yesterday.

The one rifle was easily sited in at 50 then to 100 yards with good groups! Now the...

I just posted some pictures of my first Mauser, a Yugo M24/47. Here is a link to my photobucket album.

Its loose! it also rattles around, none of the others I have move this much! That seems like a good reason for everything to be loose, is this a regular occurance? It seems like you should be able...

Folks,

I tried a search of the forums without luck which really surprised me! I was looking over my M1's, and found two with rattling rear sight apertures and sight bases.

I tried tightening...

My book says start of production!
