Hi folks, I’ve bagged this rifle for next to nothing at auction. It’s not in my hands yet but I wanted to try and find a little more out about it. It was (supposedly) made in 1915?? It has a U /|\...

Thanks Gil, I'm currently working out the photo side of things and will put some up later today. I'm inclined to agree with you about the provenance thing. At the end of the day you cannot "undo" a...
Hi there, I have a No.32 Mk.3 scope which functions well enough but like so many the paint finish has seen better days and in many places has worn and chipped. Now to me it is not imperative that it...
