Yea my no4 T was laqured to hell when I bought it. Citistrip works wonders taking it off. I'm hopeing to at least salvage the buttstock. There is a piece of wood where the brass disc should be so...

Here's a few photos of that gun I went to look at. I ended up buying it to use as the platform of this build. Will feel good to bring it back to its glory. If anyone has any insight on any of the...

How do u tell if a Winchester A5 was a citizen unit or military used unit?

Wow the look of those whitehead mounts is very cool! Would u please let me know when there available as I'm in no rush. I like those mounts better than the others. Gives it a real old work feel....

Thx guys this is a bad pic of the rifle my buddy sent me. It's 250 bucks so I guess we will see tomorrow if it's anything to right home about. I appreciate all the help. As far as the mount goes not...

So I guess if anyone has any parts real or nice reproductions I'd be very interested. Going to look at a 1917 sporter at a local store wed. Anything special I should look at when I go look at it....

Looking to start a new long term prodject of a smle sniper from ww1 with the offset scope to the left. Supposedly a member on here "roger Payne" makes very good repro mounts for this set up. If any...

If your so adiment on books.. which personally I love. What are some truly good books to purchase on these rifles?

Thx for these links! I appreciate when others still take the time to help educate others rather than brushing them off with some dumb comment bc there too lazy to help.

As it states I just finished my no4mk1 T sniper rifle. Which is my fav but I kind of have an itch to start learning about these rifles and look for a real one. Let me know what to look for how to...

Took a few pictures of the gun as its complete. I tried darkening the stock but as its darker in person it stayed pretty light. I opted to just enjoy the gun as is before a mess something up. As...

Great looking gun. I've recently purchased my first and have become addicted to the history of these rifles. I was in the same boat as you as I had to do minor work to my gun. Matching up all the...

Can u read the serial number of the gun the scope was issued too?

I purchased a 1942 mk1 scope and original mount. Will take pictures when it arrives.

Thx for the great response. I actually did buy peters book. Alot of the rifles he list were as u said minor trials but sadly next to my serial number and the other AQ gun there isn't a definition of...

Since my rifle is a trials rifle that means it most likely seen no combat then correct? It seems there is a sister gun to mine with a serial number starting with AQ. I wonder what they were testing...

Yea I purchased a repro scope and a weaver k3 scope with proper reticle. It deff looks the part and will get me through till I find a real one.

Just ordered peters book. Really looking forward to reading it!

Yes that is the serial number on my rifle. What does that mean that it was used in trials? Very awesome tho that's really cool!

Thx guys i think I'll try some of that minwax old English chestnut. I don't think the stocks going to match perfect anyway being its extremely blonde but it will make it better

Would I be able to rub that winwax over the linseed oil?

Moved the scope back. It just barely squeezed in there lol. Also has anyone seen a stock like this one. It matches the gun but the buttstock and upper hand guards look walnut but the bottom stock and...

Yea I'm going to try that tonight. So hard to tell where I'm comfortable when I'm not actually shooting. I did pick up a super nice 1918 dated us 1907 sling for it.

So she's finally finished! Extremely pleased with how she turned out! Also a picture of the end of the stamped buttstock and the dfc markings electropenciled in the gun. Possible armorers marks after...
