In the UK when you apply to your local Police Force...

I own a No4 Mk1* a No4 Mk 2 and a mosin nagant M38. the enfields are more accurate and good to look at but if you want it to work all day every day without any problem then the mosin is best its...

It may not be bright but it is not uncommon.
As a post script the gentleman with the sawn off shotgun is now dead.

I can see why the regement would leave behind worn out barrels and stocks and perhaps the bayonets but not the swords, or perhaps the swords are of the old very long bayonets seen on the baker rifle...

I have a clone with the L42A1 barrel and all the bits regulated by Fultons and even today it will hold its own with some of the best around. It does seem to perform best from 500-600 yds and this...

You may be quite correct in that the numbers do not always fit in with the dates.

My No4 Mk 2 is dated on the reciever 12/54 yet the sn puts it within the Irish contract sn band PF3324** it...

It is an offense here in the uk for any person to be in possesion of a firearm without proper authority and that is the law.

I think I need a bin to throw it in. It was just an inexpensive taster to see the result. It just didnt look the part on a M38 1945 vintage rifle and in reality the scope would cost more than the...

The red army never were that good on safety and it shows in the safety catch on the MN.

The best safety is correct gun management and common sense, only point the gun at what you intend to shoot (...

Purhased one of these things for my 1945 M38 carbine what a waste of time. After removing the iron sight and replaceing it with the light metal replacement and fitting the scope as far back as it...

the first one of course is my preferance.

The rifle looks ok and would seem to be correct, and as such the going price would be reasonable. The number of these rifles on the market in the condition it is are few and far between and as time...

They are the new ones, They have quite a number in stock.

It looks very like they were parade ground guns and bashed around with no thaught for the condition of the rifle. As all the bolts are...

Went to Pudsey and had a look at the examples on sale. A total waste of petrol and time.:crying:
