1 SMLE Lithgow no1 MkIII* 1942 in excellent condition
1 SMLE Lithgoe no1 MKIII* 1943 Heavy Barrel in very good condition(But in bit's at the moment)
1 No4 MKI* Savage 1943 in good condition
1 No5 MkI* Fazarekly(SP) 1945 "Jungle Carbine" in Very Good condition
1 Citadel 1904 Martini Henry currently getting a new forearm put on it,very good condition
1 Martini Enfield MKII .303 in very good condition marked 1900 M.E. with Victorian Government stamps on wood and metal(just got this one a few weeks before Xmas,my xmas present to me )
Also I own a few L/A rifles in
444 Marlin
44 Mag
454 Casull
.307Win
.356Win
Plus two muzzelloaders .50cal & 58Cal,as well as a 7mm Rem Mag,243 Ackley & 30/06,.22RF,12g Shottie and then my favorite,my Ruger No3 in 45/70,that is my favorite Big bore.
So,as you can see I love my firearms ohh and I just purchased(But have to wait until the dealer gets back from Holidays) a Eddystone M1917 in .303-25 that I intend to get re-barreled to .303 Epps ,it will be my project gun.

I love shooting,reloading,casting and camping and did I mention I love .303's ohhh,I did

Hope to become good mates with ya's

Cheers

Hi from a fellow newbie!

They seem to be a great bunch on this forum, I'm sure you'll enjoy youself here. Was v impressed with your .303 enfield collection! I got a few myself..Mk3 smle, No4, No4T, Metford MK2, also a nice No7 trainer and an L39 in 7.62. I fitted a 'Fultons no gunsmithing mount' to this one and it easily holds its own at 1000 against my mate's modern 'sniper' stuff!

Though my collection is british service arms from the brown bess onward, I still hang onto my canadian Ross in .303, which (amazingly to me) can also get into the target at 1000 as often as not with its original iron sights.

Will be reloading for my newer .303's having got hold of a set of dies for the Metford (my xmas present to myself), so may pick your brains on that in due course as I've only loaded BP for my Martini Henry and Snider up till now.

Cheers,

Dave
