Re: 1942 Savage No.4 Mk.I* Rifle.

One of them turned out to be British made Mills Equipment Co. and the other was Canadian made, but was too far gone to tell any markings, so I use that one for ree...

Re: 1943 Birmingham Small Arms No.4 Mk.I

I have flown my St. George's Cross Flag every 23 April for the last few years. I'm probably one of the few people in Toledo, Ohio, United States who are even aware of what 23 April is, and let alone care. I'm not certain if I will fly England's flag at the new house this year, simply because I am ta...

Re: 1888 BSA & MC Mk.II Martini-Henry Rifle.

I had a lot of cleaning up to do on mine, it was covered in "gunk". I still need to do a few things like tighten the fore-end up a bit somehow. I need a spring for the back sight "slider", as mine will not stay in place when the sight is raised up. All in all, I'm happy with the ...

1942 Savage No.4 Mk.I* Rifle.

Hello This is the first Lee-Enfield Rifle I bought. I got this at Turpin Guns in Anchorage, Alaska for $100 (U.S.) back in 2000 after I got my PDF check. It was also "sporterised" when I got it and I tried to get it back to what it should have looked like back in 1942. Someone drilled the ...

1888 BSA & MC Mk.II Martini-Henry Rifle.
