my 3 newest

[kevin.303]

Here are my 3 latest acquisitions. I’ve found I’m more interested in properly converted military sporters, then the guns in their original form. There’s quite a variety out there and I can often find them cheap. (Working in a gun store helps)

Top; a custom 1903 Springfield in .358 Norma Magnum. Ok this one wasn’t cheap, but I’ve wanted this caliber and action combination for a real long time. Very accurate, but a little hard on the shoulder.

Middle; a BSA converted Pattern 14 in .303 British. This is one of the nicer ones I’ve seen, and I got for a song.

Bottom; a Norwegian 1903 Krag-Jorgensen in 6.5x54 Mannlicher Schoenauer. Again this one was dirt cheap too. This conversion was fairly common here in Canada, along with ones done up in .243 and .308, but I shy away from those ones, that’s pushing the limits if the action I think.

Waaah all I see is a red X.

I wanted to look at the BSA especially.

kevin 303:  if that's the kind of stuff you Canadian folks have floatin' around up there, move over 'cause I'm movin' up................

Those are three very nice 'finds'.  Of course, working in a gun shop would be considered a advantage................. Mikey.

Well thank you the BSA in the middle looks like it's a Model D. The Model E has a small schnable tip to the fore stock as far as I have been able to tell. They were available in three chamberings .303, .270 and 30-06 and produced between 1949-1953.
