Neither my No.4Mk 1(T) nor my L42 A1 have the FTR marking. When they went to H & H they were brand new rifles.

Strangely, their serial numbers are only ten apart. Obviously, both from the same...

Another British Enfield Sniper.

Mk I

An accurate rifle, but bear in mind that its scope is way out of date. An iconic collector's piece but if you are after a shooter go for something newer. I have a No.4 Mk I(T), an L42A1 and an...

The Enfields recovered appear to have been the 3rd model of the Pat.1853 which was manufactured from 1858 - 1863. This period could well be connected with rifles purchased during the...

Art, I have no doubt that you are correct about the shot out barrel. I have a fair number of Metfords in my collection and only one has a decent bore. What with more than 100 years, shallow rifling,...

A typical Lee Speed sporting rifle by B.S.A. dating from the late 1890s. This one has Enfield rifling. The earlier versions had Metford.

Can anybody identify this sight? Its make? Date, etc. ? It has no name or markings whatsoever. I bought it at an auction in a lot with a Periscopic Prism Co. sight about 30 years ago.
