I have or have had everyone except the SMLE MkI, No1 MkVI, and the cut away.
An impressive collection 5THBATT. Did you get the MkV from the Maritimes? I had one with a bolt head that wasn't drilled for a firing pin.
I am looking for replacement top wood the same color as the MkII for my Sparkbrook MLM MkII.

 

[AdrianM]

Sweet Jesus, what a collection. Very, very nice 5thbatt!

 

[AdrianM]

My modest collection. I had a couple sporters over the last 10 years for hunting but I only got my first original rifle last year.
A ROF No.5

Then I got this Long Branch

Then I got my RPAL and had to have these. I love these revolvers.

And recently I snagged this Lithgow

*Edit
I picked this up over the holidays so I had to add it. 1916 BSA Sht LE converted by Parker Hale. It will soon be wearing a vintage Weaver K-3 and Weaver rings.

 

[millwright]

WOW. What a collection 5THBATT. Just WOW makes my DCRA collection look tiny. Good start AdianM

 

[AdrianM]

Yeah...my timing for a collection post wasn't so sh*t hot was it. Everything looks pale compared to 5thbatt's, and mine looks downright pathetic.

its a hurtin' look a like... but i got the parts to make it fire. Hopefully even able to make it a great shooter

 

[flying pig]

Takes time Adrian! Everybody starts somewhere. I bet in 50 years either of our collections could be that impressive as well!

 

[TacticalFlash]

This is my 1916 BSA No1 MkIII* It has all matching serial numbers and is marked with a "C broad arrow".

 

[AdrianM]

My turn to contribute. Here is a couple of mine. These are just the full wood ones. I didn't have time to grab my 1950 Longbranch and my 1943 savage both wearing unissued wood.

Anyways from top down.

CNo7 .22 trainer wearing unissued wood.
1944 Savage Full matching serial numbers and parts.
No4 ROF matching numbers wearing unissed wood as well.
Next is a 1943 Longbranch DP rifle. Chamber is pinned
Another 1943 Longbranch DP rifle. Chamber is also pinned.
And the bottom is a 1942 Longbranch Dewat. Chamber plugged, bolt welded etc.

 

[albayo]

TacticalFlash that's a nice piece of wood on your Enfield.

 

[mr.e moose]

TacticalFlash that's a nice piece of wood on your Enfield.

I agree and now I have a nice piece of wood too!

 

[youngarmyguy]

[David1974]

LB love

I do have a soft spot for 1950's.... so here are and still are my favourite ones
Top: The 96L and my favourite

Middle: Mint

Bottom: Beautiful black park in a very old Fore end. It is original to the rifle as I took this one out of the grease myself.

need help

I have had many enfields come through the shop over the years and lately have been keeping a eye out for a 4/1 with a two grove barrel to shoot cast. A customer came with a shotgun that had been left to him to have checked and cleaned. Along with it came a sporterized no 4 with a original length barrel with a two grove in aside from very slight rust spotting outside appears to be unfired. it is blued (not painted) and the bore is perfect and has the finest finish that I have ever seen through a bore scope. The markings are as followed. No makers name, ser" Q? 161XX, Y in a box 1942 ,No4 MK1, England with a crown overG1?, C under small c 33, A over upside C 25, Crown over small n and 65. Barrel N over 51 Frt of bayonet lugs NP 303"2,22, 18+tons. Bolt guide marked N-S ? 5 with a no 3 bolt head marked <X. Barrel is quite rough finished on the outside and parts of the receiver are roughly machined. I don't wish to screw up History but wish to have a two grove to scope and shoot cast. What in the hell is it?

P S the rear sight is the stamped side lever Mk 3 and the safety bracket is stamped on milled/ Thanks Rick
