Cool by me, was just curious :madsmile:





Paul.

In Clive Law's book he states the material to be Bronze?




Paul.

That rail looks far too rough when looking at known original examples. Final machining is quite sloppy, the centre channel has a secondary ridge in it, scope catches are rough cut, there are no...

He was living up towards the Scottish border at the time. I left a message and my number with who he was living with who said he would get back to me, but never did.

After a good few weeks of no...

I'll sadly never deal with Jon Moore again. Took payment for a PPCo scope case and lens caps, all nice and emails from him up till the date of supposed delivery, then nothing. Wouldn't return...

I'd imagine that the helical cut on the rear of the wheel was calculated specificly for the calibre?

Currently the rifle it's on is just a display rifle, non firing. But I am planning on getting...

I'd be very interested to read the article too :) I built a replica earlier this year for WW1 displays.





Paul.

Laughed at this many a time at shows and I'm positive I'll still be doing it for years to come!!






Paul.

The No.8 MKII case with scope No.20874 is a photograph of my example.






Paul.

Did anyone see Ebay item:181745556788 the other day?...





Paul.

Maybe a silly question guys, but how do you remove the eye cup from it's lens assembly?





Thanks,

Paul.

The photograph appears to be from the Stonleigh Militaria fair this past January?
If so, the stall is run by a company called "Battledress & Bayonet". The garment although marked up with a very...

Perhaps, but the hole would have had to be fairly big to accommodate the offset W&S scope anyway?

Also of particular interest in the photograph, the sniper second from right (Martin Peglers "Out...

I remember reading somewhere (can't for the life of me remember where though) that cutting the fore end down was more a trait of the 1st contingent battalion snipers through experiences of the wood...

Roger, did you see the chap in the first hall at Stoneleigh with an abundance of commercial scout telescopes for about £100 a piece?

I've seen this rifle floating about various arms fairs before. ...

Cheers guys, was just something I was wondering while I was going through "Without Warning" a few weeks ago, since it mentions the rifles stayed in Canada, but not the full extent of what was done...

As in evidence or them being used outside of Canada?





Paul.

Is there any evidence to suggest that Ross sniper rifles were used outside of the training in Canada during WW2? With the short supply of No.4T's to Canada during the early to mid stages of the war...

Jon Moore is currently making a PPCo case and set of lens caps for me. Can't wait till it arrives :D






Paul.

Hi Promo,

Cheers for the reply. I'm in the initial stages of considering selling them (if that makes sense), to fund another project. But as usual I'm in 2 minds about it (myself and "selling...

Hi everyone,

I've had these 2 scopes in my collection for some years. I'm just wondering as to the value of them both.

1st up is a German ZF39:
...

Interesting. I'd be interested in one for mine since I lost out on an original unfortunately mid last year.






Paul.

Hi all,

I have a P14 rifle in my collection that sports the following unusual marking:

Just wondering if anyone has come...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm now knee deep in research while trying to track down a suitable SMLE :)

I've just purchased "Sniping in France" as well, are there any other definitive works...

Thanks for the replies so far :)

I take it the scopes were not individually serial numbered since I can't find another number on the tube? What would the numbers on each end of the dovetail...
