    The 1901 rear sight is probably going to be the most popular, as it's very similar to that found on a M1903 Springfield. But I prefer the 1902, which also uses an aperture that can be raised to use...

    Try this simple two-step process and you'll be doing yourself an enormous favor. First, use a stain touch-up pen, stick, etc. to darken the scratch. Second, ignore it for the rest of your life. :-P

    M1861 and M1863 locks are the same, meaning they will fit and function, but the hammers are shaped differently. The '61 hammer is sort of an upside down "J" (a holdover from the M1855 series) and...

    I believe it's an M1891 carbine made by Ludwig Loewe. Looks like an Argentine, but I don't recognize the receiver ring crest.

    Good calls on the stamps, Scharfschuetze. The absence of a charger bridge is normal enough. Some got them during upgrades, some didn't. The rear sight slide would originally have had checkered bone...

    A 1941 Fazakerley (as Ballistics in Scotland says) is pretty early, as they only started production sometime in the middle or so of that year. The "A" suffix in the serial number means that it's not...

    Yes, .303 SMLE's use the same mag. Keep in mind, though: No.4 rifles and the No.5 "Jungle carbine" are not SMLE's and the magazines are different.
