very nice indeed. 4. 21 marking behind trigger is the date of acceptance/issue, April 1921. I have only seen a couple in England, unfortunately not in the US. Does it have jj marking?

The machine screw goes through the stock into a threaded ring that fits around the barrel. There should be relieve cuts for the ring in the forestock wood. This is from my poor memory and too lay...
I have enjoyed travelling to Leeds and Birmingham by double decker bus. Two man crew, one drives and the other sells tea, coffee and snacks. Just about as fast as the train and a better view of the...
Very nice. Maybe we can mate them and split the pups?
Are you referring to the .22 rf single shot Ross rifle? I would suggest that you only shoot standard velocity (no hi velocity) ammunition or shorts. Hi Speed cartridges over time will break parts...
Keeler Brass is located in Grand Rapids Mi. They were founded to produce brass furniture fittings, hinges and drawer pulls for GR's furniture business. I dealt with them 20 years ago when they were...

I intend to display 12 Carcano rifles this week end at the Michigan Antique Arms show at the Novi Michigan Suburban Exhibit Hall.

Speaking of stripper clips, a very odd duck is the clip for the .55 caliber Boys anti-tank rifle. All it is good for is to keep the rounds organized in the cloth bandolier. The user had to remove...
I bought my copy from Hamiliton Books, Conn. Off the internet. p.
T following rifle number stenciled on the lid is a bit strange.
All four are unaltered/untouched.
The grenade base is marked No. 23.
I concur that the stripper clip/charger s the most seldom seen. I have only seen the two I have and I would not have...

We have not had a quiz lately. I don't like the phrase "rare" but what pictured is seldom seen? (In my opinion)

10 years ago or so, Springfield Sporters imported a similar projector using a stamped steel Martini action. BATF made them destroy the Martini actions as it was considered a short barreled rifle.
The telescopic sight is over a hundred years old. The mastics that glue/seal the lenses can fail and the scope be damaged in recoil. Repair parts are not available let alone someone qualified to...
Sorry, display will be Lee's single shot rifle, Winchester Lee, Remington Lees and a sectioned Australian cutaway MkIII serial no. 1. Several years ago I had the takedowns out for the show.

Continuing my examination of my new acquisition, I note that the dovetail design is different between the two rifles. The thicker metal joint on the Mk2 shows it to have a more...
The barrel length question relates to US laws and has nothing to do with SA. Taken down the gun will fit nicely in luggage allowing a rifle to be taken into a hotel unseen.

Perhaps the johnny who thought up the two piece sten for paratroops had a go at the No.5? He was given this program so he would not muck up a more important one? Leek this to Germans to use their...
