Number 9

[John Sukey]

Speaking of oddities , Have a Long Lee (1895) with Morris tube and two bolts one for centerfire and one for rimfire (.22)

Funny bit, Got it from Milarm in Canada and customs stopped it because they wanted me fo file import papers! Told them it was an antique because it was pre 1900 and the date was stamped on the reciever! (Oh, we thought that was the model number.) They finally released it

Will try to load photos in a few days. I also have the two No 7 rifles.

Of no particular use: when I was stationed in Germany in the late 70s the big gun store in Wurzburg had a rack full of #9 rifles (as well as new looking K31s). I remember them being expensive way back then. More recently I stopped a chap at my gun range who was headed to the .22 range with what looked to be a #4 rifle. Turned out to be a #9. I asked him where he got it; it came from an L.A. gun shop for a couple hundred bucks sometime in the past. He couldn't remember where or when. He didn't want to sell it unfortunately.
