One thing you'd be better off NOT to discover by personal experience is the infamous ''Garand Thumb''.
Just ask around here...

So far this month, a PTRD, a 1941 Lithgow MkIII* and a 1916 RSAF Enfield C-arrow marked SMLE MkIII*.

No pics yet, but all are matching and original.

Ooops... I almost forgot, I also picked up 5 WW1 made brass Enfield oilers, 5 SMLE pullthroughs, a 1916 date P1908 sling and a matching P1903 bayonet and scabbard.

February present! National Match Garand

I have been trying to get this rifle for about 3 years.
It was built in the late '60's by a unit armourer and bought at one of the US competitions in the '70's. Came to Canada a couple of years after that.

I borrowed it a couple of years ago from my buddy when he said it would be nice to have somebody put a few rounds thru it...crap....I was hitting the target markers at 400!

I have never had such good luck shooting a Garand and have been trying to get it ever since. Cheers Paul

Winchester P14 with volley's.

Ok technically a March purchase, but here ya go. Picked this up at the Duncan show this weekend. Already have an identical Winnie P14, but couldnt resist this as stock markings are so clear, its a lower serial number, plus I love those volley's. Bore is awesome. My other Winchester P14 doesnt have the small cross on the butt under disc or the I in triangle mark on bayonet lug, anyone know?
Cheers
Geoff

 

[Nyles]

Nice p14.

 

[6167]

Pattern 14

Are there 3 small filled in holes on the left hand side of the receiver???

That Maltese cross is very interesting.

Cheers Paul

Love that big smith

If you ever wanna sell that 455, drop me a line. It goes really good with my hat and Bullwhip.
