OUCH! What fool did that to the stock? It doesn't even look like the original wood. Too nice a rifle to leave that way. Good luck with the restoration. Dave
I need a rod for this Canadian marked MM rifle. Correct rod will have a left hand thread on the bottom end.
Any Pattern 1893 bayonet would fit this rifle. Rifle is one of the Martini Henry rifles which was converted to .303 British and renamed Martini Metford. Dave
Well, I just had to go look as "CRB" rang a bell in this old head. Of the four Ross rifles I have the only one which is, in my opinion, "a mess" is the one marked CRB2182! It has a F/L barrel but...
I spotted this at my local shop yesterday. I have made myself a promise that I wouldn't take my collecting into other areas.....BUT! I did not handle it but it had a large "7.62" impressed in the...
I guess there's no saying what it brought but the seller was asking $650.00 which I thought was optimistic. Shows what I know. That's the second LB I've seen priced that way in the last couple of...
Hind sight......there is an amnesty on so it is not an offence right now to have one which is unregistered....flippin' ignorant folks. The again, it's theirs (was) and possibly they thought they'd...
I shouldn't be preaching to anyone but really, is it necessary to shoot it? Being as interesting a piece of history as it is it would be a shame to ruin it. If you are not a collector of Lee...
I am using SR4759 (20.0 gns.) topped with plastic filler under a 210 grain bullet. I use the SR4759 as I already had it on hand to load "duplex" in my 57 Sniders and 577-450 Martini Henrys. These...

I guess my only comment about Mr. Salter is that he plunders all of the milsurp rifles from Canada that he can and takes them stateside so even if you wanted to pay the price you can't buy any of the...
That would be a great target for even a young whipper snapper who was on top of his game. I have copied the formula and will try in my rifles. If I could do that well I could fly home from the...
I would think it will be larger than Cornwall. I can't see that it would be as big as the Perth show...but, there will not be any crafts, clothing or new items for sale. Tables sold out. I can't...
There will be a show and sale held at the Merrickville Community Center on the 3rd of June from 0930 to 1530. Many different exhibitors as participants were limited to two tables each. Contact John...
I pulled the LB target rifle down today and cleaned the dust. Barrel is marked LB and 44 and appears to be park'd as it is grey. Receiver is blued and also marked LB. The serial number appears on...
Well, that's the way it was described to me anyway! Really is more likely a purpose made target rifle. Interesting PH5C sight....has a screw in glass optic a different butt shape, a front sight...
Can anyone assist? I know I have seen replacement reproduction discs for sale somewhere on the internet. I have also see original "take-offs" with unit marks still intact for sale. Thanks, Dave
That would make sense if the film was made in the good old USA.
The Martini second from the bottom appears to have the cocking indicator in wrong...and the others appear to be "cocked"...they should be left stored in the fired position....just a comment...they do...
I have purchased a few of these restoration projects in the past and usually end up regretting them. I do believe that $75.00 is lots to pay unless it has some redeeming qualities. You would need a...
You should be ashamed to pay that price for it when all others I see are going for $400.00 to $600.00. I should be able to smell your sneakers burning from here......go get it. Cheap at twice the...
I will see if I can get a pic. I actually should bring it home for $275.00 after some of the LB's I've seen for sale on Gunnutz. The serial and this number are on the left side of the butt socket. ...
Hey, thanks...should have known to look. Mine is untouched according to this one. One more good part to play with. Thanks Badger
Now, I have to admit I do not own an SKS, any of the Mosins or other milsurps other than Brits or Canadian....BUT...I have been weakening. If I could find one in as new condition with a .308 bore I...
