Madainn mhath Adam, I'm well and trust you are also. I've been lurking but not posting much :) I've shot the 4T in the picture but as I'm limited to a 200 yard range, its difficult for me to say how well it does. I would say that I am confident with it...................let's leave it at that :bigsm...

Adam, I would be interested in the forends for the SMLE Mk 1's and the top wood, as well as for the long lee. One set of each :D Do you need a pattern for the SMLE Mark 1? If so, I have a full length stock from which most of the dimensions can be taken. It's only fault is that some previous owner to...

1941 Savage No.4 Mk 1(T) - Lots of pictures

Some time ago I came across a gentleman that had a Savage sniper for sale. After some protracted negotiations, I finally took possession of the rifle and have been trying to piece together its history. I have come to the conclusion that it is a genuine No.4 Mark 1 (T) converted at Enfield in 1942 to...

I have been sitting here today and re-reading the "stickys" on this forum. It struck me that the most dangerous word to mis-use would be "fanny." In the USA, people wear "fanny packs" and patting a women on her fanny is common in public, and even on the TV. In the UK, p...

Re: Longbranch Identification

37LXXXX is consistent with an early 1943 date of manufucture at Long Branch. CAI ST ALB VT is the Century Arms International import stamp for the USA. Birch is interesting. I have a 1943 LB and its furniture is American Walnut - the serial number is 48Lxxxx. Doing some reading, I see that while bir...

Re: And then there were two...

Seeing as we're showing our JC's, I thought I'd add my two. Picked this one up last week at my local pawn shop. 1946 Fazarkely. This one has the tropical varnish and is marked FMP (malayan police) [pic]http://img50.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Amatikulu/IM000428.jpg[/pic] This one's a 1945 Fazarkely ...
