My first super accurate Sako after having a few of them :thumbsup:

Also posted on the AR photo thread.

The CMMG .22LR upper and my existing Spikes lower with Katipo stock.
Upper came 2nd hand with 15 round mag and MAE can. It's just the paint wearing off the plastic mag.
Yes, the hand guard isn't level with the receiver, but not fussed, as it will wear a scope, not irons.

1942 SMLE No.4 Mk1*.

My first "classic" rifle. Upon closer inspection it appears pretty beat up - a lot of the engravings have faded, the wood has been pretty scarred. Rifling (2 groove) appears to be reasonably proud throughout midsection, barrel is quite pitted (which I understand to be a consequence of corrosive nitrocellulose ammunition). The crown is virtually smooth.

Bought it mainly as a collector's piece, the other example on offer was a Mk2 but it had been modified and the Beech wood wasn't to my aesthetic taste, even if it was supposedly a better shooter.

I've had a poke around on allaboutenfields.co.nz which was quite useful but his list of markings (by his own admission) was inconclusive, as my rifle features markings that either aren't there - or I'm not able to discern them properly.

From what I can tell in my limited research to date, is that this rifle was produced by ROF Maltby in South Yorkshire. The receiver and wrist have matching serial numbers. I cannot see any serial number on the bolt itself - the only marking on which are a "F" and "2", I'm assuming that the "F" denotes ROF Fazakerely production?

There are markings on the weapon but markings that I'm expecting to see, such as a crown or broad arrow are seemingly absent.

I *think* that there might be the shaft of a broad arrow above the serial number located on the wrist but it's missing the head. From what I've seen on the internet, the quality of the markings can be sometimes half-arsed. Completely understandable if one was being bombed incessantly.

Enfield experts out there @res, please - Lend me your eyes (with apologies to William Shakespeare).

Ha! ;)

Like res says, they used to be a lot cheaper. Often saw them in gunshops in Rotorua-Whakatane-Gisborne for $300-400 in the 1990's.
Popular for pigs over dogs, not too loud but adequate power at close range. Still see .30 carbine ammo on the shop shelves so there must be a few of them in use.

.30 Carbine is a hell of a cartridge. Has more energy at 100 yards than .357 Magnum at the muzzle. The 110gr SP loads are nothing to sneeze at.

Screw conformity....

Its an AK.... not an AR. And the pistol isn't a Glock or a 1911.

S&W .38 Double Action 2nd Model which was made from 1880-1884 and chambered in .38 Smith & Wesson. It was refinished at some point in its life and it was done very well. The Nickel is smooth and sharp.

I'd imagine double action would have been quite revolutionary in those days.

By then not so much. Colt, S&W, Webley, and other had Double Actions. Even during the War between the States. Some Double Action Revolvers existed.

In general though, effectively having a semi auto must of been an advantage in the stress of a gun fight, as opposed to having to remember to cock your pistol each time.

I believe you're confused. Semiautomatics can be singe action too. 1911 and Hi-Power for example. There were even Automatic Revolvers. The Webley Fosbery was.

It was a single action automatic revolver. You cocked the hammer once and fired. After that the recoil drove the top half of the revolver back and actually turned the cylinder and cocked the hammer. It was on paper, the same as a 1911. .45 caiber automatic pistol.

But a double action revolver like the Starr Revolver was used back in the Us Civil War. It was a Precussion Capped .44 Black Powder gun. Loaded it upx and pull the trigger until empty.

[img]http://www.andrewbottomley.com/ekmps...the-civil-war-[2]-2525-p.jpg[/img]

The problem with a lot of them back then was the lock work was fragile and the triggers were long and heavy.

Colt had the 1877 Lightning and 1878 Thunderer. Adams had a design out and Gen. George Armstrong Custer of the 7th Cavalry (Battle of Little Bighorn fame) owned one and it is believed he used during the battle.

Did Webley make a 455? I remember having the opportunity to play with one when I was about ten years old. Even then, with my limited knowledge of revolvers, I can remember thinking the sliding top half was "different". I think it was a 455.

Yes, Webley made a number of .45 Caliber Revolvers. Most of them were in .445 Webley. The one you're thinking of is a Webley Fosbery. That was a Semiautomatic Revolver and the later famous Mateba series used a similar design.

Not all DA Revolvers were quick to reload. The Colt 1877 and 1878 for example had side loading gates like the 1873 design.

Picked this up yesterday, Kimber 308 Adirondack, vx3 3.5-10x50 dpt cap, 3.1kgs with a full mag, bullets all touching at 100 so pretty happy.
Have to say its a very nice rifle shoulders & points as well if not better than any gun ive handled.
