JonnyC is right there. Many of the British QM's leaving Palestine in '48 were sympathetic to what was going to be the fate of the nation after they left (wrongly as it transpired......) and...

The only real way to tell with the best fakes is the metallurgy. And the next goes hand in glove with that because it's the way malleable cast iron looks when it's .........., cast! To be honest,...

I dare say that they 'liberated' one or two Enfields - as they did Centurion tanks - from those rascalls who, unwisely as it later transpired, decided to invade in 1948 and then again, even MORE...

You will not get an answer because the rear sight calibrations and foresight adjustment is/are calibrated for bog standard, issue, 303" NATO Mk7 ball ammo. We don't know what you are using so we...

Hey................... DANGEROUS PRACTICE! Never but NEVER cycle rounds through a Bren unless they are DRILL or Armourers dummy rounds. It fires the moment full locking is complete.

Listen to those voices above K31 and let me add something else................ Based on my very limited experience with the real McCoy and even less experience with these cheap crap fakes, it's not...

Load of different advice there Natt. But just remember, that if your dad gave you the new MGB or TR6 in 1970, you'd have used it - and rightly so. But he's giving you a virtually new one 1970 car...

Boris is rigtht. We had a couple of these at Warminster for our Vickers. They were old ande crusty/hard. I asked my local saddler here to fix them and she dunked them in her lanolin bath overnight...

I think that Roger is right there. I don't think that the first tins didn't have a label as I have VERY early telescope 1077 (the 77th production tele, the earliest that I have ever seen and know of...

Saying that ithappens with all of your magazines leads me to ask whether your magazines are in fact .303" magazines. Check this too!

When your Bren jambs up, where does the breech block stop. This might seem a daft question - and the obvious answer would be '....... behind the base/rim of the top round in the magazine...

I have dealt with one or two Bren guns in my time but like BP above says, and I reiterate, you'll have to elaborate on exactly what you mean by rimlock......... Ain''t a term I've ever heard of in...

The number BB xxxx dating from 1941 would appear to indicate the old, original Ordnance part number. Originally, No1's and No4's didn't have part numbers but just an Ordnance designation. Later...

Think of it another way.......... If he gave you a factory new, straight out of the box MGB or Triumph TR6 with 22 miles on the clock what would you do? Knowing that you could use it and gradually...

To be honest, the markls are just toooooooooo lightly marked to have any significanmce to anyone really. Can you imagine being an Armourer at Base Workshop, being told that rifles marked with the...

Incredible picture RobD......

Thanks for the comments all; but Tower06's telescope was really just a timely opportunity to show what could be achieved providing that you have the complete turret area intact. On the other hand, I...

I would argue with that definition Buccanneer............ The ONLY difference between having a proof stamped part with a certificate and NOT having a part proof stamped with a cert is that WITH the...

Tower06's telescope was a good example of what I described in item 1/page 1 (see thread 'got my No32 scope back). It was pretty well butchered but generally speaking, apart from the parts that were...

The internal parts in the body you mention Joe are in fact the breech block stops are are there to stop the breech block from touching the face of the barrel. HOWEVER, if you cannot get CHS because...

Year of manufacture can be found in a good little book called The Guns from Dagenham. If you have a Sterling and don't have this book then........... Well, you ought to have!

I thought that too DRP but didn't the Israeli rifles/pads have a couple of top-down accurate locating pins for the front pad which don't seem to be visible on these. Just my 2c.s worth

I think it'd be fair to say in the politest possible way that they are about as real as a 9 dollar note!

That's not bad considering what you started with on page 1 is it?

Don't fret again. All this computer talk of jpegs, mb's and uploads it pure gobbledegook to me, a 70's mechanical engineering graduate. I can do the maths, understand and teach the physics, see the...
