The gun that really “won the West” was the famous Trapdoor Springfield the US Army’s first breech loading metallic cartridge rifle.

The invention of the “trapdoor” breech loading mechanism was credited to Erskin S Allin, Master Armourer of the Springfield Armoury. Originally developed as a cheap way of converting muzzle loading rifled muskets to breech loading originally in .58” calibre in the Model 1865, this was quickly followed by the Model 1866 conversion where the barrels were relined to .50” calibre to accept the newly designed .50-70 government ammunition. This rifles receiver and barrel were eventually produced from new but still using existing locks and stocks in the Model 1868. The final model to be chambered in 50-70 was the Model 1870 .

In 1873 the rifle was changed to the famous .45-70 calibre along with lock improvements and an improved rear sight. The rifle was continued to be improved over the years with the Buffington rear sight, beloved by target shooters and hated by troops, being perfected ‘till 1885. Production of the Trapdoor ceased in 1893 but the rifle was refurbished and re-issued soldiering on into the early 20th century.

This is a very nice original example of the type complete with the excellent Buffington rear sight with its offset “ladder” to take account of the bullets drift over distance.

The bluing and woodwork are in very good condition for its age with good bluing and a fine bore. The 45-70 cartridge is still a popular round and data and components for it are readily available. A sling eyelet has been fitted in the past to stock R/H side just behind the middle barrel band probably as a sling aid in target shooting.

This is a chance to own a classic piece of US western history at a reasonable price.

Enfield P14 rifle by Winchester S/H. Calibre .303

After the Boer war when the British army was deemed to have been out shot on the veldt by the Boers’ 7mm Mauser rifles Britain sought to replace its Lee Enfields with a Mauser actioned rifle.

This manifested itself in the P (pattern) 13 rifle designed for a new .276 Enfield rimless cartridge. The outbreak of the first world war however meant that production of the SMLE could not be halted to convert to P13 production.

America however had the capacity to produce new rifles and the P13 now designated the P14 as it was chambered for the existing .303″ British round was manufactured by Winchester, Eddystone and Remington. As production of the SMLE increased it was the front line rifle for British and commonwealth troops during WW1. Although deemed more accurate than the SMLE, the SMLE was a better battle rifle lighter, with a higher magazine capacity and faster rate of fire. The Lee Enfield action was Britain’s standard for rifle through to the end of WW2.

When America entered the first world war in 1917 it also had a shortage of rifles and production of the 03 Springfield could not keep up with expanding military. The P14 design was converted to chamber the US Army 30-06 round and was designated the M(model)17. It was this rifle that equipped most of the US troops during the first world war including Sgt Alvin York who won the Congressional Medal of Honour for his bravery and marksmanship with a M17

The P14 soldiered on in the reserve role and many were refurbished to Mk2 standard and Weedon and other factories equipping the Home Guard in the second world war.

This rifle is in very good overall condition, with matching numbers and a sharply d bore. It has been converted to Mk2 standard with the removal of the volley sights.

It is of Winchester manufacture which are considered to be the better quality rifle.

Introduced by Armalite as the AR7 developed for the civilian market from the AR5 used by the USAF. Designed by Eugene Stoner father of the AR15/M16 rifle the survival rifle, launched in 1959 uses a simple blowback mechanism within a compact and effective package with the rifle being able to be broken down and its constituent parts stored in the butt shock. Armalite stopped producing the gun in 1973 with the design moving to Charter Arm who failed to produce a gun of sufficient quality to be marketable. The design was taken over by Henry Repeating Arms company who have made a run of these guns recently, of which this is a demonstration gun, and the quality is right back to that of the Armalite days, I know as I have owned examples of both rifles. The action strips for cleaning without tools, the rear sight is an elevation adjustable aperture, with two aperture diameters and the fore sight is windage adjustable. The rifle comes with two 10 rnd magazines, there is room in the butt when stowed for three, box and paper work. It is an ex demo rifle and has had 50 rnds through it only. A fine historic gun excellently designed for its purpose and the only original Eugene/Stoner AR design we are allowed to own here in the UK. As well as its historic value and fascinating design it is an effective range and quarry gun with good small game accuracy, having a Picatinny rail can be fitted with a telescopic sight to boost its accuracy potential although it does defeat somewhat its survival function.

A nice shooting example of this classic Lee Enfield built by the London Small arms Co. This is a private purchase gun with no military markings and has no doubt been set up to the owners specification no doubt for target shooting. The Metford rifled barrel was till favoured for accuracy by some target shooter well after the introduction of the Enfield rifled Long Lees by the military. Th rifle has the older action without the charger loading bridge, it has the cocking piece mounted safety and bolt shroud, magazine cut off and volley sights. The rear sight notch is windage adjustable, the previous owner has non permanently fixed it Loctite which can be easily freed for adjustment of necessary.The barrel has a very good clean bore and like all Metford rifled .303s it shoots best with plain based bullets

The wood has lovely deep finish with some marks of honest use adding to the nice overall patina of the rifle.

The rifle is in very good overall condition with wear commensurate with its age and status as a civilian rifle, no broad arrow marks. With the the bluing deep and even overall.

This is an excellent shooting example of its type and fine examples as this are getting scarcer and scarcer to obtain.

A very nice flintlock muzzle loader by Ardessa, based on the Amercan plains rifle personified by the guns of the Hawken brothers in St Louis.

The octagonal barrel is well blued with clean rifling and fits well into the stock as does the lock, fittings like the thimbles and patch box are well inlet and the whole package is handsome and well executed especially for a such a low price gun.

The set triggers give a clean crisp let off and the windage and elevation adjustable rear sights make zeroing this gun a doddle.

This is a fine entry gun for those wishing to explore the black powder arts or want to move on to flintlocks. I found this rifle is easy to get to shoot reliably with Swiss No2 powder it will shoot both ball with aplomb.

Commonly known as the Arctic Predator of Swedish Mauser rifle the M41 was the pinnacle of the rifles development in Swedish service and deemed one of the finest bolt action sniper rifles of its time. The M41/B was the final post war development of the type incorporating all the lessons learned over years of practical use. The main changes were the return to the AJACK 4×90 Scope which had a B stamped beside the scopes serial number and was retro fitted with improved multi coated lenses. The scope base was simplified in manufacture and finish with a set screw fitted to the front of the mount which when properly adjusted allowed for a tight friction fit of the scope on the dovetail but prevented the scope moving forward under recoil and jamming tight on the rail. These rifles were finally withdrawn from service in 1991. This is a nice all original example of the M41/B with matching numbers except on the floor plate and all correct fittings. The rifle is a Carl Gustavs dated 1910 in very good overall condition the blueing is sound with wear commensurate with its service. The french walnut stock is dark (probably due to the ageing of the linseed oil finish) with nice figuring on the wrist and some tiger striping on the but. The barrel is sound with strong rifling and has been an excellent shooter for its previous owner. It is complete with the correct SM sikte F-ram m/55 micrometer rear sight and the stamped steel sight cover fitted to the muzzle. A very nice honest example of this legendary sniper rifle which do not become available often as most owners regard then as keepers. The rifle also comes with original scope can, reproduction scope covers, bayonet and scabbard and set of Forster 6.5 x 55 Swedish bench rest die set. Sold

This is a very nice example of Enfield’s development of Whitworths hexagonal bored rifle. It was developed to give the military a small bore rifled musket to replace the P53, in trials the Whitworth hexagonal bored rifle was marginally superior to the Enfield five groove round bored rifle. For reason that are not entirely clear the rifle was not adopted as a military issue arm but did go on to enjoy a celebrated career as a target rifle being the firearm of choice of the very competitive volunteer movement of the time which coincided with the evolution of the hayday of civilian target rifle shooting both, nationally and internationally, the creation of the NRA and its first national meetings on Wimbledon common.
These Parker Hale reproductions are much sought after and have become collectable now in there own right.
This one is a three band example, there also being a shorter two band volunteer. The bluing and wood work are all in excellent condition and it comes with a platinum lined nipple.

The Schmidt Rubin series of rifles was first adopted in 1889 in the Schmidt-Rubin Model 1889. This was the culmination of the bringing together of the work of Eduard Rubin and Rudolph Schmidt.

Since 1882 Rubin had been developing the first small calibre, high velocity, copper jacketed bullet. Rubin’s round was combined with Schmidt’s straight pull bolt action design in 1885. After three years of design and development work these two elements were refined into the 1889 Infantry Rifle which fired a 213 grain paper patched bullet at a velocity of 1935 fps.

As early as 1903 there were discussion about the adoption increased velocity cartridges. It had been determined that there were severe ballistic shortcomings to the 89/96 action /GP90 cartridge combination.

By around 1907, the Swiss knew the old GP90 cartridge was inferior to those of their neighbors and they began testing a new round for which1908 series rifle was built. As a consequence of this work the GP11 cartridge was adopted. It was determined that the 89/96 Infantry Rifle could easily be converted to handle the new cartridge by re-barreling.

As well as the 1896/11 conversions, in 1913, the Model 1911 was formally adopted. These rifles, along with those converted to the new pattern, used the new GP11 round firing a 175 grain round at 2640 fps.

The 1911 possessed all the improvements effected in the 1896/11 rifle and in 1914 manufacture of the carbine version K1911 was started and ran through ’till 1933 with a total of 212,100 K1911 rifles being produced. This rifle being made in 1922.

This particular rifle is all matching, in very good condition with and excellent bore. The blueing is strong and deep and the woodwork is in very good condition for its age.

Quality surplus GP11 and current factory ammunition is still available and these rifles shoot extremely accurately out to 800 yrds with this or handloaded ammunition.

The 7 x 64 “Brenneke” round was introduced in 1917 and was a major success with the larger case giving at least 10% extra velocity over the 7 x 57 cartridge. The 7 x 64 is still a very popular round in Europe and is more than sufficient for all British game.

Dies, cases and ammunition are all available to be purchased with this rifle.

Vickers came late into the miniature rifle game in the 1920s going head to head with companies like BSA and W.W.Greener in supplying the small bore target rifle shooters of the day lead by the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs. They had a relatively short production span from the early 1920s up to 1939 and the start of the Second World War.
The Vickers rifles had one fundamental difference to the opposition the barrel and action came as one piece and seems to have be a successful approach to miniature rifle making as it held its own with the competition in winning medals and cups.
This is an interesting rifle with the barrel, action and sights being a standard model “special” target rifle with a sleeved barrel.
The rifle has been fitted into what appears to be a “one off” bespoke thumbhole stock. The stock is well executed with a complex convex cheek rest complete with hand stop, accessory rail and foresignt element holder. The stock it is well finished with a black bakelite buttpat and white spacer.
The rifle is in very good condition for its age with the stock having the odd mark and a small cip from the fore end.
This is a classic British Martini actioned target rifle from the heydays of British miniature/smallbore target shooting. The bespoke stock fittings goes to show the care and investment the previous owners lavished on these cherished rifles so as to get the maximium performance from them.

Classic Lee Enfield No 4 action Target Rifle built and regulated by Fultons of Bisley.
In 1968 Service Rifle (b) was replaced with the Target Rifle Class ending the NRA’s long association with the service rifle of the day which had been the rifle used for target shooting up until that point.
The new Target Rifle allowed the use of any bolt action rifles not necessarily of the service rifle design so long as they were available in quantity, did not exceed 11 1/2 lbs in weight, trigger pull must not be lighter than 4lbs and be chambered for the 7.62 mm NATO cartridge.
This change opened up a plethora of opportunities for the development of target rifles based around the 7.62 mm NATO cartridge.
This formative period produced many types of 7.62 target rifles based on existing actions including the ubiquitous No4 which many Target Rifle shooters had use befor the change so re-barrelling and converting the actions to take the new cartridge was attractive to many shooters.
This rifle is one of those conversions built by Fultons. Based on a Fazakerly No4 Mk2 action, proofed to 20 tons. With a hammer forged barrel and No 8 forend woodwork and Parker Hale sporting butt it has the classic lines of the period similar to the Envoy, L39 and Enforcer rifles.
It comes with a fully functioning Sterling magazine, extended safety, Alfred Parker “Match Maker” tunnel foresight and AJ Parker Twin Zero aperture rear sight.
The rifle is in very good overall condition with a bright bore and sharp rifling.

I am indebted to Daan Els in South Africa via his brother in law James Wilson for the information below (in italics) that he gave in response to my questions. Daan worked for Musgrave at the time these rifles were being made so a primary source of information on this rifle.

1.The Lee Enfield cal.303 conversions were born out of the many rifles made available to reserve forces, military personnel and police force. You could buy an ex army / police rifle for about R100 which at the time, also included 100 rounds.

2. More than 90% were issued with either badly pitted barrels or worn out barrels.

3. The barrels were all 3 groove barrels.

4. Some, or most of these rifles were still grease wrapped, however, mother nature played it’s part.

5. Due to the demand from the public to put these useless rifles back into action, Bennie Musgrave and Trevor Musgrave decided to convert them to an acceptable hunting and sporting rifle.

6. The bolt face design obviously was for a rimmed cartridge and the conversion subsequently was designed around the existing cartridge.

7. We removed the old barrel, fitted a new .243 barrel, cut the slot on the side of the chamber to accommodate the claw extractor & chamber with the 6mm / 303 chamber, which was a .303 configuration cartridge with a neck to accommodate the 6mm bullet.

8. Ballistics were same as 243 Win, however with lower chamber pressure due to cartridge design.

9. It was a lightweight 24″ barrel with, 15mm at muzzle and no sights, some customers demands sights for cosmetic reasons.

10. The fore-end were slimmed down to look like a modern hunting rifle.

11. The butt was new in Monte Carlo style, either left or right cheek piece fitted with a ventilated or solid recoil pad from Pachmayer. Belt swivels were fitted, front and rear and the wood was finished in French polish style. The front end were glass bedded.

12. We kept the bolt action standard, however, the magazine the magazine guiding lips were slightly modified to guide the now smaller bullet.

13. The rear sights were removed, the original mountings were milled down and we manufactured a pillar that was fitted to the side of the bolt action, just before the bolt ring, to support the telescope fitting base, which was a flat piece of tool steel, dove tailed on both sides and run from the rear to the front of the bolt action, approx 100mm long. We cut grooves in the telescope base to accommodate the STD Williams rings.

14. Stock checkering were very fine hand cut on front and pistol grip.

15. Wood for butt was mainly walnut of a very low grade.

16. All metal parts were “blued” in acid baths.

17. Musgrave manufactured the barrel, rear butt, telescope mounts, etc.

18. The butt was machined on a Zuckermann CNC machine, while the barrels were button type, like all Musgrave barrels. The button machines and buttons were manufactured in-house.

19. The 6mm project were handled by the Musgrave custom rifle devision and we convert about 50 / month.

20. About 90% of all conversions were customer requests and never formed part of a dedicated product process.

21. The number sequence were issued by the South African Police, including the cal, 6mm Mus.

22. They were very popular, although, the conversion were on par with the price of a new Musgrave, Brno, type rifle. The fact that about 100% of this conversion were handmade, push the price to the level of new rifles.

There was a lot of sentimental value to these rifles due to the history of South Africa.

The Musgrave factory had 120 employees and all hunting rifles were hand fitted, checkered & every rifle was tested for accuracy over 25m with a grouping of 5 shots within 10mm. Needless to say, the 6mm were very accurate achieving a “clover leaf” grouping over 100m.

Product Details

A fine, example of the classic Savage take down under lever rifle. The 1899 was a popular sporting rifle and was developed from its predecessor the model 1895 which was first hammerless lever action gun ever produced.  The rifle is fitted with and internal rotary magazine that holds 5 cartridges that helps the rifle balance well in the hand, it also allows the use of pointed bullets. The internal magazine design makes for a stronger action which meant that the 1899 was ideally suited to handling high pressure cartridges. During it’s almost 100 years in production the 1899 was chambered for over 14 different cartridges including the 308 Winchester with over 1 million rifles being produced. This rifle is chambered in the .22 Savage Hi Power cartridge a legend in it its own right. When it was introduced in 1912 the cartridge was a high velocity game round sending a 70 grain bullet at 2,800 fps with muzzle energy of 1,190 foot-pounds, hot stuff for 1912. The cartridge also found favour in Europe where it was designated the 5.56 x 52R and is still popular today with S&B and Norma producing ammunition. The rifle is in very good overall condition with a good barrel having little visible wear, it has the standard open rear sight and blade foresight and is also fitted with Weaver flip over scope rings and mounts that moves the scope out of the line of the rifle for easy loading of the magazine (the scope is not included in the sale of the rifle and is only mounted for illustrative purpose). A set RCBS dies and S&B cases are included with the rifle. This fine rifle is a pleasure to own and a joy to shoot and handload for being a real bargain at only. Sold

The model K31 was the Swiss armies last general issue model bolt action rifle, the rifle was adopted for service in 1932 with production running from 1933 through to 1958 with some rifles remaining in service until the 1970s.

The rifle had forward locking lugs on the bolt engaging with the receiver making for a stronger action than its predecessors, the barrel was also free floating making it more accurate that its predecessors and cheaper to manufacture than the model 1911 which it replaced.

These rifles are noted for their accuracy and are very popular for military rifle competitions.
