That's nice to know. I may have to start selling the collection off later this year depending on what upcoming lung and throat biopsies show next week. I owe it to my wife to try to recoup some of...
That's about what I was thinking. About a year ago I sold a nlce collection duplicate 1918 BSA No. 1 MK. III with bayonet. for $450.00. I can't imagine a so-so No. 4 going for 7 bills but that's...
Hello all, lts been awhile since I visited last, am having serious health issues. In any case can anyone give me a best guess on current pricing on N0, 4 Mk. 1 rifles? I get emails from an outfit...
Sold pending funds. PRICE REDUCED I am offering for sale a BSA made Lee Enfield No, 1 Mk. III* dated 1918. This rifle is duplication in my collection: I have another BSA 1918 Enfield which is in...
I recently bought an early 1950s vintage FN Mauser sporting rifle at a local estate auction and it came with a very nice condition Lyman Alaskan 2-1/2X scope. I have replaced the Alaskan scope with...
I recently acquired an early post-war FN Mauser sporting rifle at a local estate auction and it came equipped with a Lyman Alaskan 2-1/2X scope mounted in early style Weaver 7/8" rings. I have since...
I paid $180.00 for a 1918 dated BSA No. 1 MK. III* las august at a local auction. Very nice shape with a good bore. It came with a mint condition Kerr No-Buckl sling which I sold for $100.00 so my...
Thanks much for the responses. As in all things since I retired, money is an issue. If I feel I can afford it I will go with chrome lining.
How importent is it to build a rifle with a chrome lined barrel and chamber? I recently acquired an AR stripped lower receiver and have been pricing build kits. Most do not include a chrome lined...
Congrats on a nice acqutsition. I got one of the bunch imported about 9 years back by SOG if memory serves. It had some pitting umder the wood but nothing serious, I paid $240.00 + shipping for it...
I found a box of Hornady 150 Gr. ammo at a local shop, last box they had for $29.99 + tax. Now to get to the range sometime next week.
That rifle is exactly what I would like to build for myself. I was issued an early M16 in the summer of 1965 (at Ft. Bragg) and had it just long enough to clean it and qualify with it before they...
I forgot about the cleaning rod. I should have ordered it when I ordered the missing screw. Have to get one later.
I have removed the metal from the stock and found the reddish brown color I expected, based on my memories of the rifles my Dad sent home many decades ago. I then stripped whatever finish was on the...
John Sukey, you noted The sling swivel on the nosecap instead of a piling (stacking) swivel. When purchased at the estate auction, the Kerr "Nobuckle" sling was attached at butt and stacking swivel...
For what its worth, I bought one of yhe earlier RC K98s from Inter-Ordnance (North Carolina) in 2004. It is a bnz 4 (Gustlof Werke 1944) with an original barrel, other parts force matched. The...
That symbol you mentioned is a circle with what looks like a parethesis and a back parenthesis pushed up in the circle. my camera isn't good enough to get a shot of it.
I sure wish I still had...
Correction: (I got confused!) I did pay $145.00 for the Arisaka. The $180.00 was the price for a British SMLE that I bought at the same auction.
Incidentally, I forgot to mention the number check. Serial No. 15131. Front band is numbered 131 so it matches. Bolt is numbered 363 so its a mismatch. I'm guessing the mismatched bolt will...
Thanks much for the info Dean. I will definitely not mess with the bolt. As I said, I'm not at all familiar with the Arisaka rifles. I would like to test fire it but have no ammo. I reload 303...
Here is a larger PIC of the left side of the receiver. I would really like to know where and approximately when it was made. I noted the missing screw and would like to find a...
I also think the metal finish is a bit too good for the age of this rifle, As I noted previously, I suspect it has been refurbished at some point although it is not marked FTR.
There is a very small grind mark where the mum was removed. I wish it were not so.
I recently added a Type 99 Arisaka at a local auction. It seems to be in very nice condition but seems to be missing some bits and pieces, notably the monopod and aircraft sight wings. The bore is...
