I have a fair number of single shots but how about some "Canadiana"!
A Lakefield Arms model 91T, a rare Cooey model 62 target rifle (has the box and spare aperture) and a one of a kind Winchester mannlicher made in the Cobourg plant for Eaton's 100th anniversary. It never went into production.

That's a nice collection of Canadiana, especially the unique full stock. The Model 62 must be a not-often-seen sibling of the ubiquitous Cooey Model 60 repeater. How is the trigger on the Lakefield 91T?

Gunsaholic: Very nice. Some items there I didn't even know existed, .....and I really like your Canadiana theme. Thanks for posting.
Lots of sweet looking rifles on here. These are the three single shots I have.
MU 12: This thing weighs around 14 pounds. Trigger is a set style and I don't have a trigger scale low enough to measure the release weight. My scale starts at 8 oz and doesn't move when it fires. Mine is marked as a Tula manufacture (triangle with a T in the middle)
BSA International Mark 4 ISO: Beautiful rifle I haven't shot yet. Another super light trigger.
Mossberg 35A-LS One of 16 made. The original Mossberg target rifle made in 1935.

Not sure who did the stippling. It was like that when I bought it. feels really comfortable to hold.

Ah... What year is it?
Mine is a 1961 and the previous owner in England modified the stock to be more of a prone style, and he d/t the receiver for Al Freeland sight tubes (which I have), but the mounts also are perfect for a scope. So, original sights, sight tubes, or scope.... I have all three. I have actually located the former owner in England and he sent me the original import papers from Russia to England, the original manual, and pics of him using the rifle in the 70s.

Not sure on how to tell the year. Don't see anything stamped that looks like a date just the British proof marks. Mine is also marked as a Tula manufacture (triangle with a T in the middle)
Love your rifle by the way....

Gotcha... I've seen thst stamping version and believe it to be a later characteristic. Late 60s most likely? Mine is marked with the military style Tula star with arrow and under that is 1961 and the serial # 009.
When I look at the pictures of your rifle and mine it looks like the dark wood was just added to what was thereI think you could probably just remove the black,reshape the bottom a little and maybe add a piece of rosewood to the pistol grip if needed.I find the pistol grip on mine to be way too short(2 fingers hang off).
Mine has M1361 on top of the receiver if that is any more than a serial number?

Im sure that is the serial number.
Unfortunately the bottom of the stock where the black stained pine was added was cut flat in order to have a surface for gluing to. I would have to do the same with a better wood and shape it to original. It would look good I think....... Im not a fan of stock modifications like the current state.

Funny you say that.... The original owner of my rifle in England added the sight tubes to get the sight plane higher because he was having trouble getting down on the original sights and height of the stock. Im willing to bet thats why your stock was shaved lower.
Yup.... Seen this before. Pretty neat.
I have the Strela below it also, but it has a rare prone stock which is factory numbered to the rifle. Unfortunately it also received a stock modification and I only have half the buttplate assembly. :^/
