Own a decent 1899 carbine, SN 288797. Any SRS hit, or any other history on this rifle? Just curious. Thanks.

I have recently opened the safe up and began shooting and cleaning some of my old rifles. I purchased this No. 5 several years ago.
It was in pretty sad shape, so I got it for a steal. The...
Just a few photos of my 1921 Lithgow. I shot it yesterday for the first time in at least 15 years. I was surprised to keep 5 shots within 2.25"
at 100 yards, standing and braced against a tree. ...
Thank you for that info, jgaynor.
Yes, it's a Z. Does that mean anything? Also, a question for you experts: I know the scope that these rifles were supplied with were the military versions of the Weaver 330, with the knobs...
All done.

A couple of years ago, a young man called me because he heard that I collected old, military rifles. He was in need of money, and had a rifle to sell. He told me that he had an old sniper rifle that...
364123641336414 It came home with me. It looks rough, but should clean up nicely.
I briefly saw it again today. It hasn't been cleaned in forty years or more, but I was able to wipe off some crud and see the date, "1906." I think I will make an offer. what is the going rate for...
Thanks. I was in a hurry and I did get a cellphone photo. But, it is the side with the "US" and the S/N under that. I recall the other side just saying "SA" but I could be mistaken. I plan to go...
I know a lot more about the rifles they were attached to than the bayonets. But, today, I saw what appears to be an M1905? with US and S/N 162807 on one side, and SA on the other side. It is in...
Well, I knew I wasn't giving you much to work with, was just hoping that it would look familiar to someone. If I actually could see the gun I could likely give more details. The only thing I was...
31842 I have not touched this revolver, but a friend sent me this photo wanting to know what they had. Any help?
That is exactly the info I was looking for. I knew someone had to make something that would work with those standard rings.
Thanks
I have a very nice A4 with a vintage, although civilian version, of the Weaver 2.5 power, post reticle scope. I would like to install 1" rings and try a modern production model, fixed 4 power,...
This is my nice little A4. When I got her, the stock was cracked and just a piece of cordwood, and the scope was missing although she had the mount. I found Weaver's civilian version of the sniper...
Maybe I should add what she is capable of at 100 yards with horrible, horrible, trifocal eyes. Along with a few more pics.
i purchased this a couple of years ago. But, things happened and I haven't had much chance to brag on her, nor play with her. What do you think? I know it's not the original scope, and it is a CMP...
I'm up for a set
Richard, I think Chuck is pointing out that technically there is no such thing as a P-17. As soon as I saw the title of your post, I just knew someone would correct you. The British contracted with...
Thanks for all the comments. Hammer, I am sorry that you are not happy with your repro. From what I have read, it seems hit or miss with the Gibbs rifle. No, the scope was not refinished. It has...
