I'm rusty and not remembering how to edit my original posting. The mounting hole pattern is for a M41B

I looked over a Swedish mauser M41 missing its mount and scope. All visible numbers were matching except cleaning rod. No import marking.

Any links to info on m41 conversions would be...

Thank you all for the comments. You have confirmed my suspicions. The owner of the rifles has decided to consign one of the rifles at my shop and it will be online later this month. I don't want to...

Again

Another 5 pics

Five more pics

Today I looked at a pair of 1945 No4Mk1(T) rifles. They appear to have never been mated with a scope. Have been in the same family possession since the mid 1970's. No importer marks, just British...

You do not need to change scope bases. Burris makes their Pos-Align rings that will fit your Weaver bases. These rings use nylon insert bushings to eliminate alignment issues with scope mounting or...

So if a stock was replaced by an armorer due to breakage is it no longer a trench gun? I understand that it isn't original as it left the factory, I get that.

Is the buttplate from a later era or...

Thank you. I wanted to clean up the scaley texture on the underside of the handle and lower the main scallop but didn't want to change anything yet on the long shot that it was something special. I...

I have a few A4 clone projects so I like finding cheap bolts with decently turned-down handles that I can complete to my taste. I purchased a bolt assembly at a gunshow from a box of parts at a cheap...

I bought a very fine No 1 MkIII this weekend with an excellent looking PH5 (pre A) target sight. How rare is the original PH5 and what were its shortcomings to result in the A improvements so soon?

Thank you for the replies. I have since found that apparently the L1A1's usually used a taller rear sight blade and front sight.

I originally asked because I like the idea of a folding rear sight...

I will be fixing up a well used FAL and it will have a scope mounted on it. I was considering installing a flip up L1A1 style sight. Will the whole sight assembly interchange? I have a standard style...

I wanted to resurrect this thread as a customer is interested in the rifle and I want to price it fairly. Bore and muzzle are in nice shape. If the customer passes then it will go online. It was...

We haven't shot it. The store's owner took it in and was trying to figure out what exactly we have here. Thanks for the replies.

I will take pics and add them tomorrow. It is DWM marked on the toggle. I figured the barrel was a repro but couldnt find any info. I know zilch about Lugers. The acceptance marks on the slide are...

Our store recently took in a customized 1903, serial number 480557. NRA marked trigger guard. Lyman 48 first variation sight with long slide. J1 bolt. Replacement star gauged barrel, marked SA 4-22,...

Our shop has a Luger stamped 1918 on the slide ahead of the ejection port. Serial number "150" with "50" stamped many of the parts. 6 inch barrel. Has 4 proof marks on the right side of the slide, 3...

Not on a 1903 or 1903a3/a4

The bolt handle has been heated and bent and reshaped to clear a scope when cycled, or possibly cut off and a replacement welded on. An original bolt would not require notching of the stock.

Before I got to page two of this thread I was thinking about a Garand I had 15 years ago that had the same timing issue as you have. In my case the accelerator had been installed backwards in the op...

Yes, I resold it as I don't have a M1D or 1903A4 to mount it on. So off it goes to someone that can use it.
