I’ve not seen one stamped like this. As others say it’s a post war sling that would most likely have been on a no 5 rather than a smle.

Lots of people also read this forum to gain knowledge but don’t necessary post. This is my favourite forum for Lee Enfield knowledge. Thanks to those collectors who post.
I’ve learnt more from...
Your NZ marked rifle may not be a civilian purchase. Around 1911 the NZ Government purchased a large number of barrels from BSA for their refurbishment program. When they arrived they had “receivers...
We have quite a few of them here in New Zealand and they regularly turn up for sale at auctions (including bayonets) which have a Steel rather than leather scabbard
Let me know if you need a backup plan
1936 and 1937 lithgows seem to be rare but surface occasionally here in NZ. It would appear that maybe a small pre/early war shipment made it across the tasman.
Do they surface in Australia? I...
I know there has been reference to some of the armourers playing around with Kahles scopes
I’ve never seen any concrete evidence that 44s were trialed or used apart from use by army and other services rifle team members. I’m sure some of the marksman amongst them would have tried fitting...
Attached are some photos of my recent addition found at a local gun shop here in NZ. It took a few weeks to complete the sale (as the gun shop owner was selling on behalf) but we finally agreed on a...
Great video. I’ve not seen this footage before
Despite black guns being the target In NZ all semi Automatic centre fires were banned. Thousands of m1 carbines and Garands and Lithgow L1A1s were crushed. Crying shame... If you are a bona fide...
Thanks I was going to give John a call on Monday
thanks Woodsy - i picked up the Thompson at the last NZHAA auction in Napier and its a nice example
I have a P (mags) and all of the required import permits. There were some drums in the auction...
Thanks for your replies. I’ve now been told by the exporter that he needs permits to send these mags “out” of the UK. I didn’t realise such items were so heavily regulated. I’m about to give up...
Good morning from NZ. I am a long time follower of the site but this is my very first post. I was recently fortunate in being able to acquire a Thompson M1928A1 (serial number S242544). The top of...
if you google Lee load data sheet .455 it will come up. Good luck with your loading. I see your in the UK - are you now able to shoot revolvers? In NZ the government has left handguns alone for the...
The MP mold is excellent. You will not be disappointed. There is current published load data for Bullseye, Unique, Blue dot and Trail boss. The sheet that comes with the Lee loader contains suitable...
It's great to see that these parts are still available. Down here in NZ Bren tripods are almost impossible to find. I'm not sure why but assume it's because most of the army stock was either...
Do you know if anyone here in nz could repair the iris petals? I've got 2 of these lovely adjustable iris sights with the colour filters also included, but the petals have been damaged
The varnish is a standard Fultons finish (it's like a Shalac). I have many no4s and an smle with this finish applied. It would be a shame to remove it given that its collectability is as a Fultons...
I am looking to set up a webley shoot as part of our service rifle club here in NZ. I am a massive webley fan and have been trying to find a course of fire for a .455 inch webley match. There are a...
Reloads fine. Stretched a bit but typical for .30m1
Very good of you Brian. I will be in touch
Cheers
And they seem to have deleted NZ as well.
A real shame as apart from brownells no others will export parts under the value of $100 to NZ without an export permit. Buying m1 carbine parts and...
They are out of stock so your best bet is to use the 174 hornadys
Rusa reloading should have some
