Hi Scout sniper,
Interesting project, I enjoy messing about with scopes mainly on the optical side, as I have a lens grinder. I think painting brass is horrible always scratches off, so if you need...
Hi Seaforth,
Looking for A Win A5 or B5 to mount on P14 , would have preferred the Aldis but they have become like chickens teeth, any ideas where I could purchase one?
Hi,

The top furniniture has been...
The LE Nos 4s were bored out to .410, in the UK during the 60s, at the time KENYA got it independance as literary thousands of them were shiped back here, as military surplus. The Gun trade could...
Dear Dan,
Noted your interest in Lee Enfields , I have a P14 .303 made by Winchester fitted with the Win A5 scope for WW1 sniping. I beleive the US Marine Corps used this configuration for the LE...

Dear Rob,
SMLE only came in .303 and a training version Morris tubed in .22, yours is a MK 3 and the 1931 date indicates that it may have been rebarreled then,in the absence of proof marks,...
