NZ .22 Pattern 1914 No. 2 HELP!!

**StratA** · 02-07-2022 05:44 AM

The marking disc is the usual brass with brass screw but not marked on the side that is showing. I can remove it and check the flip side. The picture of the opposite side of the barrel was too large to attach but there's only the serial number of 5400 inline with the serial re-numbering of 5400 on the receiver.
The last time I removed all of the wood was probably 20 years ago. I can tear it down if you think there might be something of value to you but it'll take me a few days to get to it. The stock is in good condition but, obviously, a century old.
If it is of use I'm happy to take better photos as well.

Edit: the nose cap is serialed to the rifle (5400) as is the ladder sight.

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.

Yes, a picture tells a thousand words and isn't filtered through impression, opinion or ignorance.

My apologies Lance... for some reason i said a No2 when in fact it's a No1... my bad. (Alzheimer is kicking in)...

They still might be of some help, so here's pics of the .22 Pattern 1914 No.1 with Australian icon

Hope they help.

I have a photographic memory... I can remember something i saw 10 years ago but i have the memory of a goldfish for numbers and dates.
My desk is full of small notes everywhere and i keep a ''black book'' for small notes and things to remember.
Which is why i love reference books

Some more, for posterity, as requested.

And, no, this magazine isn't fitted to this rifle.

You anyway have them, but thought they should belong into this thread anyway as well (since from the original thread years back when I posted the rifle they are gone).

Oh, if you need pictures of the Parker-Hiscock Magazine, I have two of them as well. Attached are also pictures of one that I once had shown in here too, of course pictures gone too.
