If anyone wants to put together an accurate, researched post for "What does No4 Mk1 mean?" or "what's my Mauser worth?", I'll be more than happy to put a Milsurp FAQ sticky in this forum.

How about thisn one Stevo... :)

Here's a pretty simple link to use, even for the novice Enfield collector... :)

Lee Enfield Rifle Markings (click here)http://home.earthlink.net/~smithkaia8/index.html

I've posted this one in almost every thread where the same question has been asked in the last year. It's not as detailed as Skennerton's "The Broad Arrow" markings book, but would probably take care of 90% of the questions asked over and over again in this forum.

The trouble is that many people love to answer these questions. I prefer the adage of "give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but teach a man how to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime".

On second thought - maybe I'm being too sarcastic? After all... if you think posting "what's a bolt action german mauser worth? It's in good condition." is a completely reasonable question with a completely reasonable amount of information - no sticky on earth will ever help you.

Sarcastic? ... nah ... :p

Anyway, I think there's some good templates already around for these standard "boiler plate" questions. I saw one on another site, so let me see if we could use it here.

Claven,
I was referring to a quick reference sticky on CGN, not elsewhere.

Badger,
Great link, it's the first entry in the new FAQ sticky.
