Additionally this book btw mentions that there is one of these rifles at Birmingham Proof House with an Evans...

For what I remember the overall contract was first 400, and the second one was stopped after 21 (whereas I'm certain that "1" at the end is the Pattern Room Sample, meaning that 420 were made for the...

Was bidding for it too, but actually didn't even manage to become your underbidder :D . Great to know it in the forum. Lovely rifle.

Just as a small addendum/correction: while the Aldis scope seems to be the most common scope to be found on these Alexander Martin of Glasgow No. 3 Mk.I* (T) A sniper rifles, there are plenty other...

I added new pictures to the starting post, for those that are missing. Just check there.

Took new pictures of this rifle and figured while at it may add them to this thread again since the original ones are anyway lost.


PS: When I just pulled it for taking the pictures I thought of...

... possibly without bolt? :D

Nah, not really obviated. Just zeroed from factory and then not thought to be swapped again.

I knew you'd search the thread over here too, that is why I mentioned it on GB ;) . Thanks again for your opinion and the summary.


Just to make sure I understood correctly: the 668 that went to...

For what I know adjustment on Arisaka is done by setting of the lenses. They came zeroed from factory and lack even lateral adjustment. It though seems that you are referring to the very rare and...

I had posted it on the m14forum anyway some days ago. Yesterday someone very knowledgeable over there identified my scope as being one of 65 scopes which are "so-called second generation or...

It is the same reticle as my AR TEL scope has and for what I know is standard for AR TEL scopes.


To my understanding there were pre AR TEL designation commercial scopes also used. But I would...

Recently purchased this Redfield 3-9x40 scope from an estate sale, unfortunately without mount. It was in an online auction and pretty bad pictured, I though thought it shouldn't be this bad since it...

Very interesting Roger. I also noticed that the one with the "Pat. App. For" of yours has a broad arrow on the scope tube, whereas the scope with the patent number on it has that broad arrow above...

Actually that is crayon that I used to point out the markings better when taking the pictures. Originally these were "empty". This though is quite helpful, with the better contrast I came to the...

I recently have had the chance to purchase a near immaculate PPCo scope on the PPCo dovetail mount, complete with the matching numbers scope pouch, which had been a WWI trophy of a German soldier....

Yes, you take it off every time, because there is no other possibility than feeding single rounds with your hands.


Actually the WWI sniper rifles Austria originally had wanted to introduce (for...

You can also consider visiting http://www.m9130.info instead. It contains many information on Soviet M.91/30 rifles.

Excellent piece you picked up at that show. Congratulations to it. Also for this one, take your time, one day you'll find an original base and mount and will be able to restore it.


If you by the...

Sold at 1060 Euro.

This is an original M.91/30 Top Mount sniper rifle. It would had carried a PE scope. You can find a big amount of information and pictures of these sniper variant here:...

It now features a Tasco scope. Made it correct for Bubba :D .

... or a thought similar to that must had lead to the fact that someone butchered a No. 32 scope and its bracket for them to then be sitting on a sporterized Mannlicher M.1895 rifle in 8x50R caliber....

Curious to see where this nice one will end -> https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=19396017
