Hello every one new to this site, I am looking for info on a gun I recently got a hold of. I got lucky and found a Brazilian Mauser in near new condition and was wondering what they are worth. I am also looking forward to putting a few rounds through it. I also got a 1942 Lithgow Lee- Enfield in good shape even though the stock looks like it has seen some action the barrel in both of them look clean with no pitting. ANy help would be great.

[gordon bethune]

I served 20 years in the U S Navy, 1958-1978 where I also served in country in Viet Nam. I later retired from Continental Airlines (best airline there ever was).!!!!! I am looking to replace a gun I sold stupidly as a young man ( i know we all did). It's an original Colt 1911 Auto marked U S Navy with matching serial numbers. I've been saving to afford the price for the right gun so, I'm no dealer and I expect to pay the market price for this rare pistol. I will certainly reward any help I receive. I'm asking here because I know this forum is not just another gun market. My email is : gordon@gb1partners.com and my cel is 832 332 4444. Hope I'm not stepping on any toes by making this request for help. There are so many made up, reconditioned and non authentic Navy 1911's that I need help. Please call or email me. I will certainly be thankful for whatever assistance or advice you can give. Thank you, Gordon Bethune

Hi there
Does anyone know if there are any L42A1 rifles for sale out there? I'm not that bothered about having the full kit, I'm just intrested in obtaining a rifle to shoot in service rifle comps. I'm not intrested in clones only origonals to add to my collection of Enfields, a stablemate for my Enforcer No.476

Regards

Stewie

Hello,
Just got a No4 mk2 and came across this forum and found it to be a wealth of information. I have started to built a small WWII collection. I have a No5, M1C Garand, 1911, S&W Victory, and some other fun stuff. Love these old guns and they seem to be multiplying in my safe :. I have a few question about the proper method of re-oiling and cleaning wood. Where would i post these questions?

I look forward to sharing knowledge,
Keoni42
