Thank goodness they used a no-smith mount!!

It would be a cool project. There are also two others listed on Gunbroker right now. When it rains, it pours!! Good luck with the sale!!

Needs some love but looks like an original. Missing front pad and has a Sterling magazine. Might be a good opportunity for someone to get an original rifle and spend many years trying to find the...

That's a beautiful scope!! Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your acquisition!!

Well done Sam!! They look wonderful. We often forget what can be accomplished with had tools and patience!!

Thank you all for the insights!!! So many here have seen so many of these rifles and had many of them pass through their hands. Nothing better than real world experience.

Thanks,

Hello all,

It seems there is much interest in the auction below. Looks to me like there have been some enhancements made to the rig. The scope and rifle seem to match and matches the scope tin...

Merry Christmas!!!

I thought it would go for about $6k-$7k. I bid up to $6500 if I remember correctly. I was disappointed but with the buyers premium and tax the final price was well over $10,000. There are so many...

I bid on 00248F today and it quickly escalated past the point where I felt comfortable paying for it. I think the final bid was $9500. I really wanted it but not that badly. I'm a little depressed...

I was second to the last bidder. That 25% buyers premium is always a tough one to swallow. I imagine the sellers fee is anywhere from 15-25% as well They as much said it was probably a bitser, so...

Good morning John,

Can you check M85 #00289F? It might be a bitser but curious to see if it shows up on the list.

Thanks,

Update: We just returned from our Europe trip and we had a wonderful time. As I wasn't able to get into see the NFC I settled for a day at the British Museum and a tour of Westminster Abbey and...

Very nice rifle. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you all for the information. I may take a trip to Maldon based on Nigel's suggestions. I'm only in London for three days and then heading to Italy. If get back there again, I will start...

Update!!

I submitted an inquiry to the RA to which I received an immediate response. They forwarded my email to the NFC department. I received an email from Jonathan Ferguson much quicker than I...

Thank you all for the excellent insight and suggestions. I fell behind on the quotes and so I added my "Thanks" to each of your thoughtful posts. I have some more research and homework to do. ...

Thank you Alan for the additional information. It is most helpful. I did reserve some tickets for the Royal Armouries Museum. I am checking train tickets now to see if I can make it work.

Thank...

Thank you Alan!! That gives me perspective on just how far Leeds is from London. I'll look into options for train travel. I would love to see the collection.

Is the Royal Small Arms Factory...

Good morning all,

What is special about this BSA No 1 Mk III? Does it have something to do with the stock disc? It sold much higher than I would have anticipated.
