Belated pictures...
I have all these shots in three sizes now. One at Picturetrail, for EZBoards and CSP posting. One on my computer for the gunboards posting----1024 pixels wide, no less. Another on my computer for this site @ 640 pixels wide. (I suspect that the ones from Picturetrail would work here, but I don't kno...

This is unbelievable...
Want to know WHY all those Longbranch rifles are constantly found wearing the Mk2 sight? Got these ten Mk1 sights from AIM Surplus today---and EVERY ONE of them is a small aperture Longbranch. (The first ten I got from Aim were 8 Fazakerley, 1 Longbranch and 1 Savage.) Five are slightly used with br...

Savage vs, Longbranch Elevation Screws
Here could be the reason the Savage Mk1 sights are so seldom seen. Examine the groove below the detent collar on each of the screws. The Savage is on the left. The groove is supposed to trap the screw on the retaining pin----which it doesn't quite do on the Savage. With the sight assembled and the e...

Dating this Type 38----Photo Added
I recently traded into a very nice Type 38 rifle and have toured the boards reading up on the "Read This First" kind of post. Even so, I am getting conflicting information as to the possible date of production----as much as it can be narrowed down, anyway. The rifle is Koishikawa productio...

Where does it say "hollow points" in the linked re
"Lt. Paul Feist said officers began noticing obvious characteristics from the bullets at all three crime scenes as early as Friday. "There were some similarities that really stood out,'' Feist said. "It's something you don't see every day in bullets." If they were seeing this typ...

Hollow-base and sharp ogive...
If he was using Fiocchi or even some of the nice WW2 Kynoch, the bullet would be weird enough to start the coroner talking. There is no other bullet like that in use in the States today.

Lithgow FTR
The barrel date of 10/52 is only the barrel date---if the left side of the buttsocket says "MA54" to go with that "FTR" on the receiver ring, then 1954 would be the date that the Australian FTR was performed, using the 1952 barrel. So, ONE visible FTR. As to the stock being "...

Trigger-pull adjustment
OK, here you go. This is the cocking-piece from my BSA Long Lee target rifle. I would have shot the one off my '55 Fazakerley, but it doesn't have the "cachet" of an official item. Anyway, you can see how the angle of the contact surface has been changed to lighten the second stage trigger...
