Thank you Peter
I have unscrewed the shade from the milled ring and slid it off the front of the scope. There seems to be a very slight indent in the front draw (the one which holds the OG lens) ...

In theory, both will hit the ground (assuming it is level) at the same time. I remember 40+ years ago a physics experiment called the hunter and the monkey. The premise was a hunter aimed at a...

The brass of the shade rotates through 360, but just noticed that the milled ring at the rear of the shade doesn't rotate. Tried a wee bit more pulling force while rotating and got it extended close...

Hi

I have just bought a TEL SIG Mk VI by Broadhurst Clarkson. It all works well, good optics, draws have nice patina and leather in excellent state. Only problem is that the sunshade is very...

Thanks folks for all the advice.

The mount wasn't what I was after, it was the tin. I reckoned I could sell the scope, repro mount and tool and get a cheap tin - even if that was a repro. ...

Hi
both myself and a friend took a punt on these. These are the pics of mine.

His tin is green-painted with red squares on the bottom (from memory) corners. The tools...

It looks like EFD on the ricasso, so made by Enfield with a date of December 1910. There is no oil hole in the pommel which is correct for a 1910 patt 1907 bayonet. I can't make out the...

I suppose I don't have to, firearms can be cleared on or off the firing point with a breech flag. I just prefer to remove the bolt and magazine to show 'clear.' I don't plan to shoot it without the...

Mine also has no leaf sight. I have managed to find a 'correct' one with the battle-sight milled off to complete the rifle, but am not sure if I will fit it. It is so much easier inserting and...

True, I should have said "hard to find at a price I am willing to pay :)" I am needing a few bits for the rifle first before I can justify spending £100+ on a book

Yes, but that book isn't easy to find.....Think it is easier to lay your hands on a No4T

I have finally bought a No4T I was looking at after a few months of deliberation. Once the rifle is in my possession I will take some pics and post them.
It was missing its leaf sight and I have...

After a long period of inactivity, it looks like negotiations may be about to begin. I have been sent some pics of the rifle. Although they aren't the greatest quality, it does let you see some of...

Thank you for all the input. The gun is part of the former owner's estate, currently lodged with an unknowledgeable firearms dealer and getting pics isn't possible. I went for another look today...

Hi

have come across a No4 (T). Rifle looks genuine - not too sure of the scope/mounts but not too bothered given the asking price.
The barrel is in pretty crap condition - it may or may not be...

Hi from Scotland

Been a collector of British and Commonwealth (mainly) militaria for about 15 years. Have now decided to shoot some of the stuff.

My shooters are a Martini Henry MkIV, No1...
