I intend to display 12 Carcano rifles this week end at the Michigan Antique Arms show at the Novi Michigan Suburban Exhibit Hall.

Speaking of stripper clips, a very odd duck is the clip for the .55 caliber Boys anti-tank rifle. All it is good for is to keep the rounds organized in the cloth bandolier. The user had to remove...
I bought my copy from Hamiliton Books, Conn. Off the internet. p.
T following rifle number stenciled on the lid is a bit strange.
All four are unaltered/untouched.
The grenade base is marked No. 23.
I concur that the stripper clip/charger s the most seldom seen. I have only seen the two I have and I would not have...

We have not had a quiz lately. I don't like the phrase "rare" but what pictured is seldom seen? (In my opinion)

10 years ago or so, Springfield Sporters imported a similar projector using a stamped steel Martini action. BATF made them destroy the Martini actions as it was considered a short barreled rifle.
The telescopic sight is over a hundred years old. The mastics that glue/seal the lenses can fail and the scope be damaged in recoil. Repair parts are not available let alone someone qualified to...
Sorry, display will be Lee's single shot rifle, Winchester Lee, Remington Lees and a sectioned Australian cutaway MkIII serial no. 1. Several years ago I had the takedowns out for the show.

Continuing my examination of my new acquisition, I note that the dovetail design is different between the two rifles. The thicker metal joint on the Mk2 shows it to have a more...

My No. 1 MkV concealable as pictured in Skennerton's books. The former owner purchased it from a Military School museum in Gettysburg Pa. that closed. It was set up by Greeners for the...
Perhaps the johnny who thought up the two piece sten for paratroops had a go at the No.5? He was given this program so he would not muck up a more important one? Leek this to Germans to use their...
Pictured and discussed in Skennerton's Lee Enfield book.
The series is an excellent reprint in English of articles previously published in France. A lot of information with excellent photography.
In the past I have posted pictures of various No.5 Mk1s set up with removable buttstock using different methods of attachment. I did write about them in a Man at Arms issue as well. They were being...
A good habit to cultivate is to always remove the forestock first regardless of model.
I pulled the short handguard and confirmed barrel markings. 1929 dated barrel installed April 1941. best, p.
