I think the No. 5 rifles were available when they were needed and were issued since they were needed.

If you will post your serial number, I can look it up and see if it's a legit for the No. 5...

Great photo. Thanks for sharing.

Good solid post-war British documentaries on WWII and lots of newer stuff likely made for History Channel that they can't use because they're running a gold mining marathon or another Picker's...

A presentation piece given to someone to commemorate a particular accomplishment in the H&R manufacture chain. Best guess, but polished and bright blued receivers were common "award" or presentation...

The most commonly re-serialized firearms I see regularly are British Enfields. Not unusual for a rebuilt LE to have its numbers re-worked at rebuild. The rifles were assigned to particular units and...

S&K is easily the best in my humble opinion. I have had one on No.4 for over 40 years with a Weaver K 2.5 and it doesn't move. But I don't move I'd from one rifle to another.

I still have the Remington my Dad got from DCM and, yes, I can remember the $17 sale price. We had gotten an 03A3 before the .45 came through.Dad complained the government had equipped the NG in...

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I feel very envious of you, suffering as you are in a place like that.

Rifle appears to be in terrible condition. Also looks like they are covering a good many sins with a coat of oil or linseed oil rubbed over the entire exterior. Always a sure sign of a relic or a...

Repost link please.

Stock Doc, and others, the last M1 that CMP sold in this condition was several years ago, was a WRA and went for a shade over $8900, if my memory serves me correctly.

As for a put-up job, I doubt...

How I would love to be wrong, but Buckwheat and company are NEVA, EVA gonna allow this and the Hildab!tch would die a thousand deaths first. Go to Canada and stand on the shores of the Pacific so you...

I have used Criterion barrels and am looking forward to their new Brit Enfields No. 4 barrels which are supposedly in testing.

I think that one has been up for sale before. Correct me if I am wrong.

Get a Garand spec sheet and find correct barrel length. Measure your barrel and see how the lengths correspond. If yours is shorter, then someone has set your barrel back to accommodate a .308...

Many used to use high temperature flat black but the unissued No. 4 wore a finish the looks like a semi-gloss black. I am building one now will have a low gloss finish. Samples of the paint match...

The rebuild program at RIA in the mid-50s re-parked everything. It is a hallmark of 1903A3 rifles that have come through the program. Unfortunately, ALL were reparked. I should hasten to add that...

I saw one sell for north of $600 several years ago. I would think that amount would be fair in today's market.

I have seen the "underpriced, oversold, overbought" accusations thrown at CMP for some years. The sad truth is that ANY business wants to get their goods off the shelf as fast as possible because...

No one seems to have added that patience is the key to removing dents from a stock. There is no quick-fix for taking patience and time. I once spent more than two weeks removing dents from a stock I...

I bought one years ago that is absolutely unused and mint. Came from a local dealer who sold it off his junk rack. This was before the Mosin craze. Didn't pay but a few bucks for it and I bought it...

They look, as you say, like Russian Army and my guess is the old firearms are to confuse photos and any analysis of same. Haircuts to shiny boots are Rusky regulars.

I have four of these currently and have owned literally several dozen over the last fifty years from well-worn to brand new in original wrapping. That doesn't make me an expert, just a longtime...

I believe the Brits used a similar repair on their Mk III rifles to save the thin top hand guards on those rifles.

I have had several Greek returns, both 03 and M1, and the repairs seemed,as noted...

It was likely an addition done while in service in the Federation of Malaysia. Corrosion was obviously an issue in those places in the tropics or sub-tropics. Definitely an in-service addition. Bubba...
