Very nice indeed! Thank you for the informative write up!
Hi Gents,
The rifle pictured below has recently been offered to me, but I am not overly familiar with the finer details relating to these snipers, so I'm hoping to get everyone's input on the...
Here's something I didn't initially notice until I started photographing the rifle. It appears to have the faintest impression of the BNP w/ crown on the bolt and receiver. At first I didn't clue...
Before I begin, I owe our good friend Jim a huge thank you for giving me the opportunity to own this gem. A year later and I'm still loving it! :cheers:
This particular example is 1 of about...
By all means, please feel free! I appreciate you asking first.

Thank you for the positive comments gentlemen. Mike that's a very nice looking Colt! It appears to be a true "Black Army".

Very nice rifle! Everything appears to be right on the money, minus the rear sight? To my eyes that appears to be a type III lock bar but your serial number would require a type II. In the grand...
Shh... Shh... I was eying that :lol:
On a serious note, it will be interesting to see what that rifle fetches. It's already over $4K.

Looks like a very nice rifle. Likely rebuilt in 1945 based on the Steven H. McGregor cartouched stock. Do we have any info on the operating rod and barrel?

Hi Gents,
Pictured below is a pistol that I recently acquired here in Canada. According to the books, it was shipped to Springfield Armory in April, 1918 and appears to have been inspected by John...
A few more images I forgot to upload the first time around... Plus a shot of the receiver w/ no flash.
Hi Gents,
I'm not overly active on this forum but thought it was about time that I make a modest contribution. For that reason, I've decided to post a few images of a 12-42 Garand that's in my...
Thanks for the reply Peter, I appreciate it!
I won't be shooting the rifle until it's been inspected by a certified gunsmith... With no serial number on the bolt I think it would be a good idea...
That's interesting. So are you of the opinion that this rifle was used by the Indians? If that's the case why does it not have an Ishapore Screw installed?
I'll admit that I'm not an Enfield guy,...
Hi Gents,
Recently I came across this interesting No4 MkI* Enfield manufactured at ROF Maltby. I don't typically collect Commonwealth firearms so a few of the markings have me a little bit...
Thank you for the quick replied gentlemen. I suppose my next question in regards to the wood would be if there's a way to determine whether or not it's wartime or not?
I attempted to edit the...
Hi Gents,
I've recently been offered this seemingly nice 1942 manufactured Longbranch No4 MkI* rifle but do not typically collect Commonwealth items so I was hoping I could get your opinions on...
Hello Gents,
I'd just like to share my newest acquisition with all of you. It's a Colt 1911A1 manufactured in 1943. As far as I can tell, all of the parts are correct and it has never been...
Hi guys,
I saw this winchester stock for sale but am somewhat currious as to what you guys think about it. I noticed that the ordinance wheel is actually on the left side, generally isn't it...
What you did in 2:07 min took me half an hour, you are a pro good sir:cheers:
If I were to actually venture state side and find a stock I don't think I'd have a problem with the Canadian border guards coming home. It's just that it wouldn't be totally on the up and up in...
Hello Gentlemen,
First off, I'm new the site so I'd just like to say that this is a fantastic database of knowledge, thanks for making it available!
Anyways, I'm in the middle of resorting a SA...
