Actually, if anyone doesn't mind measuring the dimensions of the grasping grooves, especially depth, that would be immensely helpful. I'll be making this a Mk.2 replacement style stock, so the...
Thanks for the photos! Looks like the stock is a semi oval around the finger grooves, and it cuts inwards toward the upper handguard, I guess I have my work cut out for me
This may seem a bit silly, but I'm working on restoring a Winchester P14, and I need to profile the replacement stock. The new stock itself is a very nice piece of black walnut, but was specifically...
That would be the chance of a lifetime, as Long Branch didn't produce No.5's! Most likely a clone, or on some extremely rare chance, a prototype.
That's an extremely nice rifle, what is the stock finished in?
Frederick303's detective work is certainly appreciated, and that shellac is a pretty poor finish. I hold that it was applied to protect the stocks from absorbing the cosmoline the rifles were packed...
I know the rifle you are talking about sentry duty. It would clean up fairly nice, but the consigner refuses to go lower. Its been in the shop for over 2 years.
I am fairly impressed with the trigger on this rifle, I would put it around 2 pounds, single stage. It was bedded at some point, the stock was cut out and filled at the trigger guard screw, so no...
I just picked this up, I'm kind of curious to see what you folks can make of it. The seller told me it had a target site on it at one time (duh), it looks like it was a central judging by the front...
This rifle is one of several fine pick ups from CX shooter supplies in Morinville, Ab. Fantastic little shop, I try to make it in as often as possible, Shane moves some really nice stuff.
Happen to really enjoy this rifle, the bolt is "smooth" for a Mosin Nagant, and despite the length, its no bother (being 6'4" its my size!). Accuracy wise it makes me happy too, shooting cans at 100...
Hello all,
I picked this up a little while ago, figure I got a good deal at $250 Canadian. Its my first Mosin Nagant, and I was just thinking "Remington Mosin!" After getting it home I noticed the...
I visited the range a while ago, taking with me my new Lb No.4 Mk.1*, with a #2 bolt head , a friend brought a sporterized SMLE and Ross. His SMLE gave me consistent 3 inch groups at 200 yards, as...

The carbine has the long lee nosecap, I read about the RIC rifles and looked at the photos, that seems to be what I'm looking at.
Stopped at the local shop today, I happened upon some beautiful rifles. The first, a 1902 Calvary carbine, converted for infantry use, which is in 75% ish condition, with numbers matching bolt they...
Just read about the morris tube in Skennertons book, this seems to fit the bill according to his description.
Apparently the 22 conversion kit is not for that rifle but it is for any 303 SMLE. He wants $200 for the conversion tube and the bolt, which happens to have a mark one cocking piece
Upon my arrival at the local gun shop I spotted a shortened SMLE leaning upon the shelf. It turned out to be an Ishapore 2A that had been cut down similar to a Lithgow shortened and lightened rifle....
Looks like I may be up for some haggling! Thanks a lot fellas.
What is such a bayonet worth without the frog, but in decent condition?
Found a pretty great Lee Enfield No.4 for sale, they are asking 500 cad for it. It has a bright 2 groove bore, the bolthead is marked 2, and it has a mk2 backsight. The entire rifle is very nice...
I had thought the Parker Hales were based off No.4's... Im new to this and am unfamiliar with commercial sporters, I just figured that it had been a nice gunsmith sporterization, the same shop has a...
I found a brodie helmet at an antique shop, its been painted black (going over several peace signs in black sharpie). I have never seen one with a leather liner like this, it is spiralled around ...
I saw my first long lee today at Milarm in Edmonton, it was in fantastic shape for being a Boer War rifle. I had never seen the long range volley sights before or a magazine chained to the rifle,it...
