OK, transaction is finalized:
Once again, eBay confiscated the items and refunded my money.
I'll even include photos.
Please wait until I have received the items before you contact them.
I want to see if they get through the GSP system this time--they were again shipped using that method.
That will give you a...
Ebay appears to now be selling the two items in question at a small profit:
ACCURACY INTERNATIONAL L96A1 SNIPER RIFLE SUNSHADE KILLFLASH | eBay
ACCURACY INTERNATIONAL L96A1 SNIPER RIFLE BORE...
The problem isn't selling on eBay, it's shipping through eBay's Global Shipping Program.
If you set up your listing to reflect your willingness to ship internationally, international bidders will...
I was the winning bidder on those auctions. I was fully refunded, but I am very disappointed not to have the items.
I wish I could say this was a one-off, but incidents like this are increasing. ...
Gentlemen,
I'd like to learn about the L47A1, the 7.65mm Walther PP procured by the MoD during the Cold War.
There's a little info online about the L66A1, a Walther PP issued in .22LR as a...
That may end up being the only option.
Can anybody recommend a source of spares for a No.8 trainer?
I'm a reasonably good internet sleuth, but I haven't had any luck locating one.
If anybody has some to sell out of his personal...
@roger payne You mentioned the possibility of using the ground root in a homemade stain.
Can you share a link or recipe for that? I'd like to create a wood stain using ground root and...

I now have the rifle--I'm pretty happy with it. Wood is all original walnut, in good shape. Seems to have a shellac on it, but I know the US Marines did that with their rifle stocks in the tropics to...
I'll await their guidance I(or invoice!), thanks!

Just looking at the photos I hadn't even noticed the...
"Renumbered," then! And yes, the damage to the Knox form is pretty noticeable.
I'll report back on how it shoots. To bed the muzzle in the enlarged nosecap hole, I'm thinking an appropriate...
Looking for the thoughts of some of our experts on Australian rifles.
The GunBroker auction for this rifle coincidentally ended yesterday, on Anzac Day.
As Australia has been America's most...
That's a nicer property stamp than mine.
Mine also has a 38/300 stamping next to the barrel on the left side. Redundant given the manufacturer's barrel engraving.
Great looking pistol.
My Canadian-issue S&W has a marking I can't find in Skennerton.
I recognize the "proofed in Birmingham in 1954" crossed swords stamp, and also the Canadian military ownership mark shown in the...
That's about $1100 over the one that sold in February, but this one included extras that I paid quite a lot for as I built up my own CES:
- Scope tin ($640)
- Binos (correct V6 type) ($170)
-...
Overrun from the one I had made for my own transit chest. Nobody stocked them, so I had a small number made.
Professionally printed on heavy, self-adhesive paper. Copied from the 1976...
Given the advice received from the group, I decided that the 1976 labels are probanly repros rather than genuine, so I reproduced the example I had a photo of.
I think they came out well, and I...
I bought the final chest from this lot.
I left feedback in the iTrader section, but I will underline that mcnuttwa did a dozen of us a huge service with his outlay of cash up front and then having...
The chest that's with that rifle is so far off that it doesn't even seem to be an attempt to deceive. It's just a wooden box made up to house that particular rifle, and then painted green. There's...
I'm restoring an L42A1 transit chest in rough shape. As mine has no lid label, I'm making a reproduction of one.
I like the font and the slightly greater height of the 1976 label. But I have...
