    How many of these compared to other objects. Their amount can only be understood when compared to other finds. There may be 60 which sounds a lot, but if you're finding 100s of other things then it...

    I remember my mum smacking me round the back of the head saying I didn't need my hands to look, but it certainly helps (the hands not the smacking). Have you found any that are still workable?...

    OK but military 'shops' still need tools like engravers for re-doing serial numbers. Look at the difference between stamped No1 rifles and engraved No4 rifles. so does anyone know of any pneumatic...

    Engraving chisels can be either electric or compressed air. Or maybe there was a tattoo parlor near by.

    I thought yesterday something to do with compressed air like in a garage. How were guns electro engraved?

    Nose caps are $35.00 from apex gun parts. If the forend is good up to the outer band you can graft a piece from a mkiii and save you a bunch. BRP has early magazines for $50.00. According to another...

    If you take the forend off ( which you should always do before taking the butt stock off) there is a metal plate called the keeper plate that the butt bolt fits into. Often the receiver end of the...

    Another issue judging from the photographs is the forend looks like it has the cursed split. It looks like the right hand side is well proud of the reciever and its started to migrate off the brass...

    I have to admit that the only reason I bought this barreled receiver was the year and number, for me that gives it value. Not monetary value, but the idea that I'm holding the 401st Sht Lee produced...

    Yes Colin Moon, and that sounds like good news that EFD have a new joiner. Now I can shelve my ideas of advanced whittling my own stock and start saving money.

    This is when rifles increase in value and the value will depend on originality, correctness, and provenance. Just like it does now, but it will get more serious. More than likely decent rifles will...

    I had a mk1/2 redated 1952. When I took the trigger guard off the trigger came out with it? There were no bosses brazed on the receiver? Did someone cut corners or did someone try and un-upgrade it?...

    Thanks for the input. I also have spare forend piece from the outer band to the nosecap so I could wait around for a cut down piece of wood. I'm guilty of restocking a 1905 with a mkiii forend but it...

    The photo was taken the day after Dunkirk ended, probably to show we still had people to fight invading Germans. Is that a Mk I with a charger bridge?
