I am sorry, but I need to see that before I believe that. Not 1 source support that. Even the numbers dont add up to that being anywhere near true. Every single picture I have found online have the...
From everything I have heard - and read - B&N are wrong in this. Yours would be 1 of those 40 original Sirius rifles as well. The front sight is the 1 major detail that set the 2 versions apart. Only...
Couple of things. First of all, the story I got about my rifle was that it was brought back to Denmark from a Sirius member. So there is that part as well in this.
Secondly, the rear sight. Thats...

Does this work now?
Yea that sight does look good. Would be interesting to shoot one of those.
First, I think the reason why he is saying this, is because he doesnt speak Danish. What I have done, is to...
First of all, the front sight is different. In December 1960, the front sights on all rifles + spare barrels was changed in Denmark - 85000 in total. The ones the RGTC got shipped, all had changed...
You are talking about 2 different versions of these rifles. The 40 rifles I am talking about, are the Sirius Patrol rifles. The ones you are talking about are the 5000 rifles that was sold to the...
Peters has the notch. First post on the second page :).
And yea, that is a big improvement. I wasnt expecting anything near that kind of improvement just due to the sight.
Have fun in Maine...
Yours had the roll pin sight, that came from Denmark. So yea, thats a confirmed Danish rifle. Yours also has the notch, so that would mean it came from Norway in 57 or 59 (most likely 59). Thats...
The reason for the sight change, is that they had done lots of testing at the testing facility, the shooters improved the accuracy with 13-20%. When the sights was tested by the Home Guard it showed...
The guy I am talking very close to that guy. Thats the problem. He knew exactly how many rifles went to Greenland. So there is no way this would happen without this guy knowing about it. He also knew...
It actually does have a rear sight. Its just in front of the bolt, and its fixed. Its a V shaped piece that you cant adjust at all.
That is really weird. The info from here, says that they...
I would love to see pictures of that. How early sn? I may have a surprise for you if its early enough :).
Also when did you buy it? The reason I ask, is because I am trying to confirm another...
Its the carved HJV on the side of the rifle. Today I also found out that this ammo pouch originally came from the Home Guard belt. The guy I talked to also said that it was only the Sirius patrol...
Hi all
First post here.
I just bought a very interesting Winchester m1917 rifle (Serial number 20406) here in Denmark, Europe. This rifle has a very cool history. Its built in September 1917...
