Thanks JB, this bolt head is 0.002" longer and while the headspace is acceptable (below 0.074") I would prefer to have that 2 thousandths tighter number. OK I was afraid of that, I wondered if the...

Greetings, may I assume finding taps for a No1MkIII* is not possible? Just swapping the bolt head on one and the extractor screw will not go in, the new bolt head is unissued and I'd love to run a...

Thank You JB, even more interesting. This particular rifle is a BSA but the person asking for information has gone dark. Now I am left to go down the rabbit hole for my own curiosity. Looks like I...

This is turning out to be incredibly interesting to me. I sincerely appreciate the information.

Sunray, the rifle is not mine and the fellow that is looking at it is new to Enfields. Just trying to help him out. I figured a true III would be rare. Thanks!

Hello all, How unusual is a No1MkIII as opposed to the common No1MkIII*? Butt socket shows 1915 so its obviously early 1915 as the III* came about late in 1915. Thanks!

When you get more bullets try WW748, I think you will be pleased. I had the same problem trying to find a 100 yard load for my NM AR 1:8 twist years ago. Nothing I tried worked. One of the older...

Eley is seen most these days followed by Lapua. You must lot test to find the lot that likes your rifle. Top shelf ammo has more than doubled in price in the last decade. Tenex is around $1800 a...

Thanks 2111, I haven't heard anything yet. Fingers crossed.

Thanks 2111, wow I was guessing half of that. Yes, the rifle is stunning. I made an offer on this NM M1 and another NIB 22 that was there. If the answer is no then I will help them get these to...

OK, made it there last night. My friends were off by 10 years, the rifle was purchased in 1964. Rifle is lovely, immaculate would be the word if it were a car. SO, since its a Type II NM in...

Norm was a great guy and he taught me a lot over the years. I miss him. I'd have to look for the folder but he sent me quite a few photos as he use to live in NJ as I did and that photo he sent you...

Hey Herschel!! Long time no see. I did some homework and printed some stuff out that should let me quickly judge what the rifle is. First I have to look at the date on the chit, then I can look at...

Thanks Johnny P, I think he's ok with letting me have the paperwork. As 2111 pointed out it has been around 60 years since he made that promise.

OK, I am going to see the rifle tonight. I was finally able to make time to drive up there, I shot matches of various flavors for the last 5 weekends in a row. My friend has decided to give up the...

2111, Thanks for the advice. Yes, that may be well what is making him want to keep the papers. I am going to see if he had the rifle upgraded but I have a feeling that the rifle is as handed to...

BTW, keep the advice coming guys. At these prices I will not be buying this rifle but will help steer my friend to selling the rifle to an appropriate collector so it does not get swallowed up by...

Jim, Wow. OK, I am quite certain the rifle is as it was back in the mid 50's but I will now make sure. I quietly figured the rifle by itself as a non-verified NM was worth maybe $1500 and with the...

Rick, Thanks for the info and the photo! Some months ago a similar NM to yours was offered to me but is currently on hold. It was bought in 1973 (?) after the DCM started selling NM rifles again...

Greetings, I got a phone call late last night from an old close friend. Another good friend has decided to start selling off his rifles and this guy is an old match shooter. I didn't even know he...

I wouldn't be too hard, just how many of the old guard are left? The Major and Glo have not been active on these pages for some years now.

Back in the day when I found this forum they were all...

Oh no......been real busy and just found this. RIP Sir, you will be missed....

I have a few cans of RR lot number clipped M2 in cardboards I bought from the CMP about 1999 or so. It is literally 9 MOA ammo. It is obvious it is delinked and clipped MG ammo from the marks on...
