For Sparkbrook looking for his Grandfather's rifle:
There might be hope. Some years ago while I was set up at a gunshow, an English friend showed up with his father who had just immigrated...
Skennerton wrote a pamphlet on spike bayonets. In it he lists the known contractors and sub-contractors and quantities made.
Small Arms Series No. 2. 32 pages.
"So that says something about interchangeability. No.4 and 5 parts working in an 1890 Mk.I Lee Metford. "
Or "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I think it is a civilian fabrication. Probably for a hunter who had no access to chargers.
Know a British soldier who served in WW II. He said they would remove the spoon from the oiler and use the body to store matches because it was water proof. They had both plastic and brass, but...
No. Still available.
Wish it were so here in SE Michigan. Have had a 1941 on offer for 2 years now at $400.00. No takers. Seems no one in the area knows what it is.
Navy Arms imported a number of cut-aways from Australia around the same time Jovino brought in their horde. They had to replace the barrels so ATF would not treat them as pistols(too short). I...

Brand new MkIs.

I believe he was referring to BSA Shirley, which would make the rifle a No. 4 Mk 1.
Personal experience leads me to believe that Savage made considerably more than 1200 Mk 1s in 1941. Have seen many more Savage made Mk. 1 than Long Branch made Mk. 1s. Have 2 of each.
Also, have...
Are these the correct photos? Item pictured is made from beech, not walnut.
Where are the butt stock markings? Might be a put-together.
I was given one of these and was told at the time that it was a trench coat gun. They were made by the IRA to hide under their trench coats. On a further note, mine was made from a No I Mk V,...
The one I had was not very accurate and had minimal rifling. Had to test fit to several different SMLEs to find one that that fit properly.
As someone else once said: "Joe Salter will not be oversold!"
The "proper" way to mount the sling is how the RSM tells you to do it. Have heard the both brass in and brass out to be correct. So find an old RSM and ask him how he wants it done.
Have seen discs in No. 4s before. Not sure of the origin, but believe they are from one of the countries that was given No. 4s after WW II.
It is the U.S. Issued version, therefore it is in 30.06 caliber.
Just checked the site, apparently item did not sell, although he did get 6 offers(declined them all).
Done after lunch at the local pub?
