**BOER WAR ERA**British WD 1894 Dated, Long Lee Enfield MK II Rifle By LSA Co (London Small Arms Company), 1910 Converted To Charger Loading With Long Range Volley Sights, Magazine Cut Off, Cleaning Rod & Sling**2024 UK/EU DEACTIVATION**D 1480 - D 1480 The Long Lee-Enfield .303 was introduced into the British Army in the late 1800’s. It replaced the Lee-Metford, which had been the standard issue firearm since 1889. The latter was a magazine-fed repeating rifle, but it fired cartridges using black powder which emitted smoke when fired that gave away the rifleman's position. In 1891, the British first produced cordite a propellant that burned cleanly without emitting smoke. It also generated more heat, however, which wore out the Lee-Metford's rifling system of seven shallow grooves. A new rifling system was developed at the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, consisting of five deep grooves that could withstand the intense heat generated by the cordite. The result was the .303 Long Lee-Enfield rifle. The new rifle saw service in the Boer wars and beyond. This .303 calibre Long Lee MK II is crisply stamped on the right side of the strap 'LSA Co Ld' (London Small Arms Co Ltd) Crown VR' (Victoria Regina) and '1894' date. In 1910 this rifle was converted to charger loading and is correctly stamped on the left side of the strap 'LSA Co 1910 C.C.L.E’. The breech is stamped with number '9262 and has other un-matching numbers. The metal work has WD and ordnance inspection marks. It has stepped blade fore sight, flip up rear peep sight, long range volley sights, ladder rear sight, bayonet bar, sling swivels fitted with original leather sling, magazine cut off and charger loading bridge. The wood work is excellent & all original. The rifle has its original brass butt plate with trap. Deactivated to UK/EU specification in 2024 the rifle’s bolt moves, its trigger moves and the magazine can be removed. The price includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. D 1480 £1,200.00 |

SOLD SOLD (15/11) Cold War / Vietnam War Era Chinese State Factory ‘66’ Type 56 (AK47 / AKMS) 7.62 x 39mm Calibre Assault Rifle With Folding Stock & Sling**EARLY UK 1995 DEACTIVATION, RE-ISSUED UK ONLY CERTIFICATED** D 1477 - D 1477 The Type 56 Automatic Rifle also known as the AK-56 is a Chinese 7.62×39mm rifle. It is a variant of the Soviet-designed AK-47 (specifically Type 3) and AKM rifles (with folding stock). Production started in 1956 at Chinese State Factory 66. During the Cold War period, the Type-56 was exported to many countries and guerrilla forces throughout the world. Many of these rifles found their way to battlefields in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East and were used alongside other Kalashnikov pattern weapons from both the Soviet Union as well the Warsaw Pact nations of Eastern Europe. Chinese support for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam before the mid-1960s meant that the Type-56 was frequently encountered by American soldiers in the hands of either Vietcong guerrillas or PAVN soldiers during the Vietnam war. The Type-56 was discovered far more often than the original Russian-made AK-47s or AKMs. This is an excellent Chinese Type 56 with folding stock. It is serial number 17035033, has the triangle with ‘66’ inside mark of the Chinese Factory ‘66’, Type 56 designation and Chinese inspection mark. The all original wood work of this weapon is excellent. It has the correct fore sight, adjustable rear sight, forward sling bar and rear sling swivel fitted with sling. It has a folding skeleton stock which operates as it should. Deactivated to early UK specification in 1995 the original 1995 certificate was lost at some point in its life and a UK only replacement certificate was issued in 2024. The weapon cocks and dry fires and the magazine can be removed. The price includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery. D 1477 (holster rig box) £0.00 |
