I picked up a Ishapore 2A a few months ago. The bolt was stuck closed. I was able to get it open. I took it apart and began cleaning it up (lots of cosmaline on it). Today i got around to finish...

Hi all, I just acquired my first 1903a3. The condition of the rifle is very nice. I am trying to learn about it but not finding much on the web. I did order a book but it will be several days before...

Ok thank you for the info. I appreciate it!

OK thanks guys I appreciate it. So what is the difference between a 2 and 3 screw lug? Also what is beaver chatter?

Thanks!

The stock is cut at the front barrel band and the wood is missing from there to the end of the barrel. Fore-end i guess. It also does not have a top handguard. So it looks like someone cur the stock...

Here are additional pictures. The bolt does match the receiver and it has a steel butt plate. The stock has been cut and refinished at some point. I would like to find a replacement stock that is...

If i recall it is numbers matching. I will add some additional pictures this evening when i get home from work. It does have a steel buttplate. Not a wood one. Thanks!

Hi all, I picked up a Type 99. I am new to the Japanese rifles. Overall the rifle is in excellent condition except the stock has been cut down. The rest of the rifle looks to be original. The mum is...

I have picked up a Linley & Co magazine to go with a rifle I am restoring. The magazines finish is pretty much gone and I was thinking of bluing it. I am not sure of the collectibility of the...

Hi all,

I do not see the Jovino marking that is mentioned. Her are some pictures of what I have. The finish looks splotchy because i hit with some oil. I have some other parts I could use t build...

MA
Lithgow
SMLE III*
1945

I was told that it may not have been built into a rifle so it was not serialized. That it...

Also i meant to ask, will the oil make the stock darker with each added coat? I am curious if this is the method that will allow me to match the forend.

Thank you for the replies everyone. The stocks i have looks great. They seem straight and do not appear to need a lot of fitting. Mostly just finishing i think. Just for clarification, the peak, or...

I got my front and rear handguards from Prestigious Wood today. They are very well done and should look great with my original forend. The front handguard has a slight peak to it down the top center....

What about using a brass machine screws and threaded washers in place of the rivet? I would think you would have to grind the screw down to make it look similar to the rivet as you would see it on...

Wow very nice, I cannot wait to get mine.

I also have ordered the Prestigious Wood handguards but have not received them yet. What did you think of them?

hi all, thank you for the help. So i am looking for rear handguard rivet options. I have done some web searching and here on the forum and it seems that people are making them by hand. has anyone...

Good morning everyone. Thank you for the replies. So just for clarification, the front cap is held onto the front handguard by screws and not rivets? The rear handguard clip is riveted in place?

...

Hi all, Does anyone have a source for the rivets used to secure the cap to the front of top front handguard and the spring clip used on the rear top handguard? Also, suggestions on installing them? ...

Thanks guys I appreciate it. It seems the area around the trigger guard is not flush with the trigger guard on these. I am guessing the wood needs to sanded down to fit correctly? I dont know if i...

Has anyone used the new production unstained hardwood forestock? I am basically building a No1 MKIII from a receiver and looking to put together a stock set. I have a NOS buttstock made of beech. I...

OK thank you. So an English Enfield could have the cross bolt as a repair but in general the stocks did not come with them. I appreciate the help!
