Here are a couple of photos of my two dispersal rifles. One came from a gun show several years ago and the second from an auction last weekend.130405130406130407130408
Sent you a pm about the book.
In the US $400 maybe $450 as they are essentially wall hangers due to the ammunition issues. I bought one last year at an auction for $350 just because I thought it was neat. It is now in my sons...
Picked this up last weekend. Nice matching 1919 Lithgow bayonet and frog.
It does mean targeted. I have always assumed that it was checked as part of an assembled rifle to make sure it was capable of meeting required accuracy requirements.
The A stamp appears on stocks of garands rebuilt by the navy specifically the navy match rifles.
Is the bayonet date stamped 1943? If so it is not as common but as a cutdown bayonet the date doesn’t add a lot to value.
It’s not a lend lease M-1 as it falls outside the appropriate serial number range. It is an M-1 that at some point transitioned through Great Brittain.
1918 produced receiver rebuilt post war with an Avis barrel and now sitting in an 03a3 stock.
I think that the above answers are correct in that the stock came from a Model 1917 that was loaned to Canada in WW II. Other than that it looks nice.
That's funny since there is no such thing as a P-17 and I would suggest it actually the opposite, but if you find one you can store it in the rack next to your P-1 Garand. If you are really confused...
Also remember above all else there is no such thing as a P17 it’s a model 1917.
Originally destined to be an 03a3 but due to a shortage of rear sights the rear bridge was milled down to mostly remove the sight base and the rifle was completed as a regular 03. Nice rifle and I’m...
The original production block of 03/A4 rifles was produced with C stocks that were provided by SA but later in production the scant stocks were used. No standard S type stocks were used in original...
It’s an Owen sub machine gun and they are looking at a Japanese sword
117085117086117087117088117089117090Received my rifle sans scope the other day. The transit case is ok but the joints are a little loose and the paint is flaking but generally sound. the rifle looks...
The stock markings are fake and the little s generally means an SA manufactured stock.
It is and I have one that’s a couple of hundred later. The roll mark on mine isn’t centered either as the serial number is almost under the mount but the manufacturer and model designation is lined...
Most commonly referred to as a fat boy stock and only used on Eddystone rifles.
Just an open box post war rebuild inspection stamp. Some were made from earlier stamps by grinding off some of the letters.
If it doesn’t have the scallop for the ejection port it is not a Mark 1 stock.
