    That can't be right - the Australian Dollar is worth a lot less than the USD.

    The cheapest way to do it here is buy a deactivated SMLE and strip the woodwork off it, but so many people did that...

    Please tell me that's at least a modified Greener GP and not an actual Martini-Henry!

    The combined "L" and "B" is definitely the Longbranch stamp, if that helps - and the "C" with an arrow in it is one of the Canadian military markings as well.

    Just to throw something else in the mix, albeit late - how about a Model 27 or a Model 28 Highway Patrolman? They're basically identical to the Model 29 but chambered for .357 Magnum, which means...

    I had a look on their website but it seems their scope mounts are only for G/K98s and M48 rifles, not the Swedish Mausers. It's a shame because it's pretty much exactly what I'm after.
  6. Creating a Swedish Mauser "Scout Rifle" (No sporterising)

    I find myself in need of a scoped centrefire rifle and lack the budget to buy a new gun, but the thought occurs there's an opportunity to turn an M38 Swedish Mauser into a scout rifle, combining the...

    For what it's worth, while a Mk VI with a Mk V upper probably isn't factory original, guns in the other configuration (Mk IV/V frames with Mk V/VI uppers) can be - Webley was assembling guns from...

    It's a lovely looking rifle and it would be great if someone was manufacturing them in a non-suppressed version for export - a .45ACP rifle would be rather popular, I expect!

    It's obviously possible, otherwise people outside the US wouldn't be able to buy newly-made American guns. "Not worth the hassle" or "Not economically worth it" might be closer to the mark, but I...

    That'd be a really interesting booklet - wonder if it would be possible/permissable to have it scanned so there's a digital copy available for historians and researchers?

    That's why I wanted to ask - because I know messing with Government Property tends to be frowned upon (to put it mildly) but I know they made a small number of "Official" experimental Jungle Carbines...

    I'll have to check my library - pretty sure I've got a copy of Sweets somewhere and it wouldn't surprise me if I'd picked up a copy of Skennerton & LaBudda's book in my travels too!

    "Sporterised" Lee-Enfields in WWII

    I was doing some research on the Australian War Memorial site and came across this photo, taken in Papua New Guinea in 1944 and showing "A staff sergeant of the 43rd Field Ordnance Depot showing two...

    Thanks. I'd intended to try and keep it "Mil Spec" for use in general service rifle competitions but I'm thinking I might have to get it properly bedded and keep it for modified class competitions...

    That's my point. The rifle is no longer keyholing but the grouping isn't great so it's going to need more tweaking.

    In the end I had the rifle rebarelled, and hey presto, no more keyholing. I'm not sure the barrel was bedded properly though, as I've had to do a bit of messing about with the sights to get it to...

    I was going to say, it seems unlikely there were no Jungle Carbines made between April and December 1946 - in fact, I know that's not true because I've got photos of one with an April 1946 date...

    I'm actually surprised most of the commercial ammo is BT - you'd think someone would make flat-base stuff since that's what the rifles are designed for?

    I was going through my photo collection earlier and found this pic I snapped at the Lithgow Small Arms Museum a few years ago - it's a Lithgow SMLE Mk III* with an experimental Bakelite stock.

    As far as I know, only the No. 4 repro was in .308; the carbines were in 7.62x39.

    I know someone with one of the 7.62x39 carbines and it's a nice rifle which shoots well but it's troublesome to...

    Not necessarily - Imagine if someone like Uberti decided it was worth their while to do it, for example? That might keep the cost at something more accessible, especially 30 years or so from now.
