Everyone is busy de-sporterizing all the Enfield No. 4's that were cut down in Canada in the 50's and 60's. New wood and sling swivels etc, but if the bayonet lug was lopped off to shorten the barrel (often done), it can't be re-furbished. Unmolested examples are going now for up to $1,500.00

WoodrowC

Thanks, mates!

Fitz would have loved them...........nice work!

This is an early model 83 in .45 colt only. I can approach .454 territory with .45 Colt loads. The 5 shot cylinder allows peppy H-110 loads with hardcast, and would be handy in big bear country.

Thanks, gents.......... 65 this month.

HaHa, well written! This is so appropriate right now in Canada.......we are facing more fanatic gun control measures from our new Liberal government. We already have enough, as you know.

WoodrowC

Thanks kindly, to all!

That Uberti carbine is a fine rifle. A gun dealer near me has an original North West Mounted Police '76 carbine for sale. At over $8,000.00 it's too dear for me.

Regards, Gerry

WoodrowC

That load is as old timey as that fine vintage rifle......looks like a good hunt, mate.

Regards, Gerry.

WoodrowC

That's a weighty carbine to tote very far..........nicely done mate.

I'd like to see Ruger offer a 5 shot Blackhawk in .45, a value-priced, non custom powerhouse.

A jaw-dropping made in America heirloom piece........... fired or not.

Made my day. Gerry

Now, that's a post with levergun content! Outstanding!

Braun Series 7.Best I've ever tried.

Milwaukee 12 volt rechargeable LED work light. Inexpensive, light, compact, bright, runs 6 hours on a charge. I've put everything else on the shelf.

WoodrowC

I ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THAT TWO-HAND GRIP. IT'S A BALL BEARING SUPPORT. I HAVE CONVERTED A WOBBLY-SHOT SHOOTER INTO A GROUPING SHOT SHOOTER BY USING A BETTER GRIP. 1942 called. They wanted to let you know that the military no longer trains this grip. :D That aside, it's full of interest...

Hey, everything you said made sense to me!

With all the knife making activity around the homestead, my F.I.L. brought out a knife he had bought 60 plus years ago while on a moose hunting trip in Canada. They had purchased a 1903 from the local hardware store for $29.95. I now have that rifle and it is one of the serial # rifles that had the...

WoodrowC

I admire the way you think. Retro is good. Your grandfather would be gratified.

Outstanding! I always prefer bright blue to case coloring on receivers.

Spectacular photography skills. Great rifle!

As astonishingly beautiful as British Columbia is, it's socialist government and mindset makes it Canada's California. Alberta is our Texas. Take your pick.

My Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.I is my militia rifle. Range, power, lots of stripper clips.

I was a big Dwight fan when he still had Pete Anderson as his lead guitar/producer/band leader.

Dwight and Pete were keeping real traditional twangy country music alive, with a Bakersfield vibe.

Then Dwight got sidetracked by acting and lost Pete.

He can still sing though.

What a fantastic monument..........his SMLE on his back and a 1907 pattern bayonet in his hand, charging artillery, machine guns, and infantry, on horseback!
Thanks for that picture, Bruce.

Battle tactics have changed somewhat since 1917, I think. Brave men.

WoodrowC

I ordered The Lighthorsemen recently in Blu-ray, and the picture is spectacular. The military gear in this movie is very accurate, and for anyone who likes the SMLE No.1 MkIII it's the best. They focus too much on the lad who can't shoot the enemy, but the charge and the battle scenes are inspiring....

WoodrowC

I use Reloder 15 (42 grains) under a Sierra Pro-hunter 180 to almost duplicate military Mk. VII velocity. Very accurate as well.

WoodrowC

I was guessing you were a Fedora lounge fellow, Bulldog..........great Art Fawcett beaver, just beautiful, and well worth the cost.

I love my Akubra Federation fedoras, and like you, I wonder why good hats aren't on more heads.

WoodrowC

Ball caps?? I expected more Akubra Snowy Riva's!

Thanks for the pictures. It looks like an excellent range set-up.

WoodrowC

Well, it has the reputation of being about the best you can get! Nice birthday treat for sure.

My first issue sidearm for patrol in 1973 was a Colt Official Police 4inch. Smooth action and very accurate. A few years later they issued us bull barrel model 10's and all the Colt's and slim barreled S&W's went to the furnace.(Canadian gun control) I thought that was bad enough, until 1994 whe...

The standard 200 grain Hornady in the .348 is good moose medicine. They don't walk far after one of those pills through the lungs.

Love the S&W Model 10 AND the El Paso leather. Great rig.

Amazing photos of a part of the world that is totally unfamiliar to me.

Thank you for posting this. Gerry

WoodrowC

My compliments as well! What a flashback to the 1950's, when function and style were one. Give me wool way ahead of today's noisy nylon camo stuff.
Retains warmth even when wet.
And don't forget 'Shnee's' in Bozeman, Montana for 16 inch hunting boots.

So many NWMP Officers had such short careers. It was quite typical to sign up for five or six years and then move on to more lucrative employment. And they wore their hats funny in photographs!

WoodrowC

Outstanding.......very exciting! Any chance of more pictures? Gerry

My Winchester Commemoratives book says 1978. They made 19,999 in New Haven. Nice carbine!

James Garner as Captain Woodrow Call in "Streets of Laredo" where he shoots down at Mox Mox and his crew from a high bluff, with his Henry rifle. Seemed realistic to me.

The domestic auto market is based in the United States, with a lot of support from Canada. Much of the resources that go into the building of American vehicles comes from Canada (steel, nickel, etc.). A Toyota built in Tennesee is a Japanese vehicle because Toyota's head office is in downtown Tokyo....

New Frontier Colts in .44 Special are quite rare. Skeeter Skelton had one just a bit shorter, in 4 3/4 ".

Nicely done! Gerry

SJ, I have both a Browning 1886 SRC and the "Montana" version of the '86 High Grade rifle. My SRC is right up there with my original Winchester 71 as a favorite hunting rifle. However, if you roam those plains with distant horizons and want to feel the spirit of the buffalo hunter from by...

WoodrowC

I'd say.......absolutely, based on how well the factory loaded Winchester 200 grain Silvertips dealt with a 1500 pound bull moose in my Browning 71. Gerry

Coldfingers (Scotty)............you just made my day, brother! Well written! I live in cold Northern Ontario, with 5 feet of snow on the ground and minus 20 degrees, but your circumstances make my weather seem like nothing. Sometimes we forget how cold it can really get.

That is a very unique Puma, I've never seen one like that. For field-dressing game animals like white tail deer, most hunters advocate a drop-point blade of moderate size, say 2 1/2" to 3" blade. For a large animal like a 1200 pound moose, however, I also use a larger blade such as my Puma...

WoodrowC

Thanks, gentlemen........... Mr. Selleck's personal attention to his arms and equipment is what makes his films so enjoyable and authentic. I guess he can keep only so many guns ..........I guess..............oh well

My interest in the history and arms of law enforcement agencies includes the North-West Mounted Police, and I make it a point while travelling to visit museums that focus on these subjects. For example, there is an excellent museum in the restored N.W.M.P fort in historic Fort McLeod, Alberta. It co...

A lifelong friend of mine inherited his late father's 1950's vintage S&W "s" series Model 27, five inch, diamond magna stocks. Offered it to me. Thinking it would fetch $800.-$1000., I passed. He sold it for $300. Makes me crazy. This isn't it, but exactly like this: http://i304.photob...
