I have a PH 1200TX and was thinking of putting a scope sight on it. However, this rifle appeared at a local shop with a scope already fitted that looked cheap to me, so I went to look at it and...
My rifle has the roll pin front sight marked 045. The barrel is a Winchester dated 02 -19 so the original one has been replaced at some point as the rifle is an Eddystone. The charger slots look...
I have one of the ex Danish US Model of 1917 rifles. A dealer here in the UK had a few in stock, probably 20 plus, back in the 1990s. He told me they had come from Greenland but they are ex Danish....
I have a 1940 BSA MkIII SMLE in the L series. I also have a 1942 dispersal marked with just the B in the N series. Both have the last two digits of the date stamped differently to the first two. ...
I saw a 7.62mm NATO Norwegian Mauser for sale here in the UK a few years ago. I should have bought it as it was a really nice looking rifle.

I remember buying HXP 69 from Henry Kranks for £14 a hundred when it was first available a few years ago. I wish it was still available at that price. I still have one box left that I have kept....
My M1917 has the notch. I would like an answer also. I was told it was for a longer round used in Greenland, but that may or not be true.

This is my wife's great grandfather, William Walls who was a fatal casualty at Loos in 1915. He was really too old to enlist but he lied about his age to join up. He left his wife and several...
I bought a Mk IV 20 years ago. It came with the original sling. I haven't shot it for ages as I now have it as an antique. Mine spent time at Allahabad arsenal and eventually found its way back...
I bought a .22 Short rifle Mk II at the Trafalgar Meeting at Bisley a couple of years ago. It is converted from a Sparkbrook LE Mk I* dated 1901. Mine has no naval or conversion marks on the left...
I also have two T99 long rifles, though both of mine are Toyo Kogyo made. Both of mine are ground, one is matching bolt and the other is the right number bolt but wrong factory. They are...
