Hi all,
I hope this is in the right section.
I have a Walther model 1 semi-auto/bolt action rifle in 22. I purchased it with a missing magazine.
I was wondering in anyone on here has a model...
I believe they were issued, but I believe they were simply scrapped from stores due to no need. So they are pretty scarce I believe.
Cheers for the reply.
I am looking for the breaker type. The removable kind that fits both the 1903 and 1907 bayonets
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has any engineering drawings for the SMLE Wire Breakers, the type that fit P'03 and P'07 bayonets.
I would like to try and 3D model and 3D print one as a mock...

It is for a trial sight which was used on a No5 .22 trials rifle (Skennerton, pg297).
Mine has broken off the head so i only have the threaded part left. This is how i...
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows the size of the thread used on the No5 singer style sights?

Hello,
Just a few quick questions about the No4 Mk2 serial numbers.
- Does anyone know which contracts the early serials were made for? The lists I have seen start at PF250xxx. I have a rifle...
Hi all, does anyone know any other places i could ask for any info? any big collectors who may be able to help?
I never considered a chisel, but not that you mentioned it, that definitely seems like the tool used.
Thank you all for your inputs.
Hi All,
I have a Fazakerley No8 rifle which is fitted with what appears to be a trail sight.
This site can be seen on page 297 of the Lee Enfield Book, in the section discussing the 2 possible...
Hi all,
I have raises this here many years ago but didn't get to the bottom of it.

Hi All,
I recently got a No5 Bayonet with a knuckle guard fitted.
The only reference i can see for these bayonets is a 1 liner in Skennertons bayonet book and 1 website for a museum.
Would...
He has 2 No5 Bayonets. I am leaning towards the one with the knuckle guard. I was just wondering it was an actual thing or someone fantasy.
The second No5 has absolutely no markings so i am not...
Yes the bayonet I have been looking at is complete. I think it's a WSC bayonet. Complete with lock, muzzle ring and metal scabbard.
I am still to find a copy of that book at an affordable price, could you possibly send me a picture of those pages in question?
Hi all,
I have been given first dibs on purchasing some bayonets from a collection. There are many i am interested in but i was wondering anyone could give me any extra information on a No5...
It seems only the wood work is painted. All the metal has been left as is off the cutter
Yeah i am beginning to think it was either a gun smith, or maybe in India. The carbine has been through India.
Yeah it does fit in well with my slowly growing Lee Enfield collection.
I was after a jungle carbine and ended up with 3 of them in my last acquisitions. Sadly the BSA one has been converted to...
Would you be able to take some pictures of the windage adjustment bolt head for me?
