A real enigma so far

I need some help identifying and valuing this. What you see is what you get. 9x19mm and FK on the side. Not a single other mark on it anywhere. Complete strip carried out and zip zilch nada. NOTHING.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

so it is in Australia icon

? part of the adf's collection?

any chance we could get some detailed pictures of the parts?
something makes me think that quite a few will be modified from parts of other firearms like the nosecap.

the FK logo is looks vaugely familiar. it makes me think of something to do with machinery parts, possibably electrical parts on machinery? don't quote me on that though.

Lots of ideas there, maybe I should build me something similar...

**CINDERS** · 08-04-2018 11:11 AM

'bout the only thing thats Lee Enfield is the nose cap and modified bottom & top woods (Perhaps)

The buttstock looks like it came off a Reising.

I think its a BRNO F. L. (trade name for Fr. Langenhan) First issued in 1947, as the Model 550 Overall length: 43.5" Weight: 6.25 lbs. 9mm Carbine

Could you please provide a link to some info and/or photos? All I can find are Langenhan pistols.

.. and Langenhan was dissolved in 1945.

**Patrick Chadwick** · 08-09-2018 12:11 PM

Gil, I don't see any connection between Langenhan and this curious concoction. But FK (not FL) Brno does exist as a modern company that makes a pistol with a very high muzzle velocity.
