Tom nice work again as usual.
Now I just have to find a No7. Well done.
I will give you a $1000 for the XA
Just rebuild it, then sell it and buy a No5
Yeah Brian when you bringing your stuff down under. I have to agree. Brian sources or usually has what I need.
Hooks, I would have made your add worldwide shipping you are missing out on a lot of people outside of the US. Specially with the US dollar at the moment it is very attractive. I know that a serious...
Roger, what else do you expect from an Aussie.
Yeah it will be Bruce, unless they are using someone else now. You could PM him. Thanks Luke, but I am only dreaming. I will leave it to Andrew (Demo) is a serious collector and protector of our...
Looks like a Sarco, slightly better finished than the Numerich ones. I was told the Sarco ones were made in India for them. Don't quote me.

Demo, you beat me too it. Luke who you getting to do the appraisal, sorry which gun shop are you going through, I forget the name of the shop but it is on the main street up there. If it is most...
Mattgunguy,
Numrich ones are a copy, if you want a orginal Lawerence Ordanacne in Sydney (Australia) has the orginal and will post overseas.

Shane, get onto to Brian Dick. If he can he will source you one. Looks like Australia cleaned him out of 3 already.
Myles
Andrew very nice indeed, wondered when you were going to start showing some of your vast collection.
Myles
Patrick, Ouch, electric drill. Next time I am at the gun shop I will pick up some copper brushes. Did a quick clean the other day and faint rifling has appeared. Fingers crossed it is rust and crud...
SpineCracker, Very nice, very similar to mine. Serial no 20L1506 but unable to confirm it is NZ.

While the linseed oil soaks in. Had time to pick the barrel and action up again. Well it's not Brazilian but Columbian. That shows you not always what you see on the net is correct. Bore might clean...
Andrew, nothing on the buttsocket, it all matches, doesn't look like it ever saw service. I was told that it was purchased from NZ suplus in the 80's wrapped when a quiet a few were sold off. I have...
G'day guys.
I am looking to make another barrel for my 30.06 Brazilian carbine. What is the barrel they used for the conversion and was it just simple have the chamber reamed to 30.06.
Myles
Andrew, trying to find any markings on my LB which I suspect is NZ, any hints to where to look for the marks. There is none on the wrist.
myles
Jeff I will swap you my No4 Mk2 for your purple car.
Jamie,
Other than the last 3 inches of the barrel. The rifle is in great condition. Specially now I removed the 2mm of varnish that has protected the metal and woodwork for 30 odd years. Looks like...
I have a Brazilian Mauser looks like the last 2-3 inches of the muzzles rifling is worn to nearly nothing. Not sure on this depth as currently only got a broken wrist and trying to work out how much...
Update so far. Varnish is off and now cleaning the stock up, the stock is in a great condition but the guys who did the conversion in 1952 didn't believe in quality finish. The barrel and receiver...
What is the difference between it and a waisted LB front sight protector.
Myles
RLO cheaper here than the boiled and lately I am coming across heaps of it. Just wish some of the stuff you guys can get your hands on was easily available here.
