What Im looking to do, is take a deactivated MkIII* barreled receiver, mate it into a Mk1 timber set, use the mk 3 sight saddle (which will require some modification to the wood I understand so it...

I just picked up a barreled receiver, it is a pre-WW1 "No1MkIII* FR 47" retaining it's magazine cut-off but with updated charger bridge, I am curious what the star (*) significance is. Honestly on...

So I just picked up an Enfield No 1 Mk III Line Thrower today, have yet to go thru the markings, overall she is in great shape, LT letters on the butt, the magazine is present but the guts of it are...

The nosecap Im pretty sure is made from steel, it looks as if it was an original one, but maybe was messed up a bit, so someone sawed off the front of it? The is a total loss of markings on the...

The one which was attached is the LB size small one from the original pictures without a butt disk, the initialed one came along with it so im thinking it might be original, it has no cut outs for a...

I think the nosecap stamp is a crown with BP or BR under it then a number, if its BP, going to get a magnifine glass later and reinspect, but if its a BP that would match the knox form marking, and...

i. e. its the sniper swivel that screws into the trigger guard/ magazine part, its not the one you screw into the wood, that would permanently alter it despite I have one and it would work better.

Ive been swapping bits and pieces out which will fit so I can adapt it a bit for use, as far as anything which would permanently alter the rifle im not going to do. The interchangeability of various...

Attach* typos...

One thing I can't figure out however is what use or benefit the sniper sling swivel brings to the table. I have one in there now so I can attack\h a sling, but being at the front of the magazine it...

MY use for it is mainly collection, although she does go to the range here and there, Hunting I think im going to use a 91/30 Nagant or a Mk 4 No 1. I like having my guns as multi-purpose as possible...

Thanks for the posting and info, I have a collection of ziploc baggies filling another larger one full of Enfield parts thats been accumulating, so no worries on a loss of the part. The buttdisc I...

I feel bad for the rest of the world and theyre gun laws, though New York is not exactly a fan either. If I were rich I would buy em all up and bring em here to prevent deactivation, we feel it a...

Sorry to alarm everyone, what i was hoping for was to find a charger bridge that would screw in to the existing hole on the tall side of the breech but i then found out most of then, or maybe all of...

One thing I wonder is if there are Charger Guide Bridges made for Enfleids that screwed onto a receiver, instead of being forged onto them. I wish I could find one, I want to make this thing take...

Im going to send over some additional pictures, appreciate all of the info, I was reading about the Gideon Force last night, outstanding. Ive been toying with a book project Im writing, a based on...

Wouldn't it make sense in this theory of a volunteer soldier's rifle make sense then that there would be no out of service marking then?

What would be a correct sling? Im tempted to get a 1907 style but im not sure if these came across from America, although I suppose the whole Civilian purchase, then possibly voluntary service with...

Thanks for the info, I dont have time at the moment to respond to all of it but I think I was taking the small arrow head looking marking as an out of service, below the 1 and above the UV on the...

Jc5, I tried, it failed and history repeated, if you could sir, please PM with an e-mail adress I can send them over to you on, thanks again for your patience, Ive had a pretty full agenda out of the...

Heres some photos I took, I also tried to draw the markings for better clarity. In the meantime I did acquire the bayonet lug nose cap and a Bayonet to complete the display, Im keeping the old bits...

I am now back in town AND the Camera works! What is the best way to whiten the markings like I see various collectors do, I personally think its ugly when people do it but it will help with making...

I dont mind the pictures being on display, i just cant get the forum to accept the other pictures for some reason. I should have access the other comp i mentioned before this evening and I will post...

Unless the flag thing is a huge number 1 on its side and theres just a wear mark making it into a flag shape, the angled part of the 1 if you will would be the end of the flag not attached to a pole.

The out of Service marking also appears on the buttplate with what looks like a elongated flag shaped marking as well, no markings in the flag, UV***** <- and the flag above them, all on the...
