A few years ago I sent a repro No 15 sniper chest to the UK, the shipping was not actually that bad by sea, couple of hundred CAD I think it was but the recipient got dinged with hefty customs...
For those of you looking for a repro walnut cheek piece here in Canada, PM me and I can give you a contact number or email address. I have a buddy who is making them and have bought two so far and...
Thank you pmac for the reply. your pistol looks very much like mine obviously and could likely or safely say the value of mine should be between $1000 and maybe $1500 depending on the buyer here in...
Does anyone else have an opinion or comments on this pistol? I am in Western Canada by the way, and any other comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the reply Johnny Peppers, I think the price range you indicate is about what I expected. Too bad the grips had someone's initials carved into them though.
OK Jim, will try and do that asap. I didn't realize the pictures were so small.

I came across an interesting item/accessory for sale for Enfield rifles today and wondering if anyone knows more about it or what it's use would be on Enfield rifles? Apparently this woolfat was used...
Peter,
You say the mags were useless, is this because they jammed, were hard and slow to load or all the above? Were they common in the UK during the war do you know?
My war bride Aunt...
Well Brit plumber, for the nominal fee of $2600 you can have them!

Marstar here in Canada has a TON of Enfield wood for sale. The butt stocks are too pricey for me, but the fore-wood is reasonable and they have a couple different colours/grades of wood to choose...
Hello Newcastle, regarding the loose dovetails, there is a company here in Canada called 'Lee Valley tools' and they sell a product called 'the Chair Doctor'. It is a very low viscosity, water based...
It is interesting that you would mention that the lack of tacks in the end of a chest would be suspicious. I have a attached a picture of the end of an L 42 chest I had here for a rebuild a few years...

Opps!, so far no ones said anything, maybe that's why all these IV warning bells are going off all around me? Besides how can one go a day without this site?

I just got an email from Stencollector after showing him pictures and he thinks that this telescope has been re-wrapped with the leather at some point and should of had the vynal covering. Anyone...
Some time ago Peter L. made mention of a Bren gun chest that had a see-through front made of plexiglass. A Gentleman on this sight asked me to build one like it for his No 4 mk 1 L.B. Sniper rifle. I...
