A few years ago, Louis Riel was operating his business called Zefarm. Louis has passed on and the business is now run by his son. A lot of information was carried in Louis's head and now is gone forever.
I bought the remnants of a New Zealand carbine which had been stripped for parts and most of them sold. I purchased the receiver which was a genuine NZ carbine piece, and my carbine rebuild began.
This is how it was when it was sportered from original military, on the web site. The barrel bore was poor. It didnt sell, so Louis stripped it and sold it as parts.
So I began with little more than a stripped receiver. I cut and draw filed a rifle barrel. Found myself a bolt and trigger guard. Copied the fore stock using an original as a pattern.
I built myself a trade pattern carbine of the style offered by BSA, not an exact replica, but more of a tribute to the Lee Speed.
It is a great little gun, but I am getting twitchy in that I would like to return it back to full military spec and recycle the current parts on other projects. I have a Lee Speed receiver just waiting for that barrel.
So this is a bit of a long shot. Did anybody here make a purchase from Zefarm of any of the take-off parts from this carbine? It would be six or seven years ago??
I am hoping to find the barrel or the rear sight.
