SHT 22 Mk.2

**Gundoc** · 03-15-2010 04:38 PM

I got this neat old trainer a few years ago. It has a near perfect bore for all it's age and history. It is marked Tyne 5 on the buttstock. I did a search and found a book titled "Royal Grammer School, New Castel on Tyne" by Brian Mains. On page 170 it is mentioned that Arthur M. Sutherland donated a rifle range around 1915. Do you think the rifle comes from this school or have any better ideas?
Thanks!
Gundoc

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

First of all, that's MY rifle, I want it and you have to give it back!

More seriously, I'm worried by the spellings in the title of your book which ought to read:

Royal Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne

But is your rifle the one referred to in the book? It's probably now impossible to tell without direct and verifiable contemporary written evidence or photographs.

Nice Rifle Gundoc,

A stab in the dark but This link may give you a bit more info,

http://www.northumberlandfusiliers.o...e/unitfram.htm

As the 5th Regiment of Foot, was the Northumberland Fusilers, based in Tyneside and with the age of the rifle they may of still used the name " 5th "

Nice rifle
.22 short rifle Mk11 Naval issue?
The magazine is curious as it looks the wrong type. It doesn't stick
out enough. Did it come with the rifle?

**Gundoc** · 03-15-2010 08:54 PM

Eric, The magazine shell was in the rifle as received, I am sure it is not correct but it is handy to catch spent cases, and can be removed if one wants. I am not aware of markings from navel use. Thanks all for the replies.

The magazines were remove in this conversion according to the bible. That looks like it might be a carbine mag. Nice looking rifle

**jmoore** · 03-17-2010 03:15 AM

It looks more like an aftermarket "Santa Fe" et al. 5rd hunting mag to me.
Yes? No?
Note that the ribs stop short of the bottom of the magazine body.
