Estate sale finds

[XRCD011]

The wife likes going to estate sales and I focus on anything in garage/basement and generally find nothing...............till this past Sunday.

I am posting in Milsurps as there is some "Milstuff" in the random pile of odds and ends. Four .22 Lee Enfield bolts (two LB/C7 and two ??) and three what I believe are Ross Mk.III.............and that said I defer to those with deeper knowledge.

Big Time SCORE!!!

I had to buy this box of stuff as it would have been binned and lost forever otherwise, lots of the pieces I have no idea what they are off of (like the non mil sights and sling swivels).

Top right corner: Lee Enfield N0.4 battle sight
Winchester Model 94 ladder sight. If it says 'METERS' on it, it was French WWI contract.

Bottom right: Lee Enfield No.1 Cocking piece
German Lange Visier (usually found on a Gewehr 98)
Martini barrel bands and trigger guard
P14/M17 ladder sights

I also defer to those of more specific knowledge.

The martini trigger guard is for one of the small frame francotte type actions, probably from a Canadian contract BSA trainer or Australian cadet. The winchester ladder sight is a nice find, I’ve been looking for one for a while. I have a couple spare rimfire extractors if you want to complete those no7 bolt heads.

that is a nice haul

the .22 bolt heads are for one of the earlier trainers, there were more then one variation

Imagine my surprise when I started looking at my loot box of random stuff, lay out the bolt heads and note Hey, why are the firing pin holes offset.... holy cow these are .22 heads !!

You have 2 No7 22 and two No2 22 RF bolt heads.

perhaps

might be .22 Short Rifle, AKA 1912 Royal Navy trainer in 22RF

 

[Claven2]

several Ross Mk10 rear sight ladders, one 1905 Ross ladder. several Winchester lever action rifle rear sights (mix of Win 94, 1873 and Win 92 sights), a Winchester saddle ring carbine M92 sight, several Marlin 336 sights. Long Lee Enfield Mk1* (or cavalry carbine) cocking piece with safety.No.1MkIII safety... just to add to the identifications for you.

 

[XRCD011]

One of these bolt heads is marked 22 No 2C if that helps ID it.

 

[Desert_Fox]

The magazine and ammo are for the WW2 Allied M4 Survival Rifle?

 

[Evanguy]

i believe there may be a CLLE rear sight in the mix. the first pic bottom right on the board.

 

[tigrr]

Nice find! Price?

 

[Bill Johnson]

Are you willing to sell?

 

[XRCD011]

Time to bring order to chaos. Any help in IDing the parts (by numbers now) is hugely appreciated.

Once I have a better grasp of "what things are" I will be posting on the EE.

Pretty sure that the trigger Guard No. 5 is an old H & R top break unit

Thanks Tokguy, all insight is most welcome.

How else are you going to spin straw into gold? Milsurp usually a team... the odd dyckhead posts once in a while... if we don't retaliate...they go away usually.
Might be able to scrutinize the sights in a bit... gotta pull an injection pump off a diesel 1st.

 

[Evanguy]

Pic 2 number 4 is a CLLE rear sight.

Number 7 band is a long lee band so a mlm/mle/clle

Number 7 bolt cocking piece is a long lee/carbine/clle cocking piece with safety.

No9 safety is a no1 or a smle rifle safety
