Just tried it with a No.4 bolt. The center hole is not deep enough to take the firing pin tip, and it will not reach inside the bolt to engage the cut outs in the collar ring on the firing pin, which...

Well, earlier this month I found this British bayo grip nut wrench advertised on the bay, and picked it up. It fit the slots on the no.5 bayo grip nuts with no problem, should work on the other...
Nice Machine!!! Cant wait to see your next project with it!
Just thought I would post a successful shadow box project I completed for a neighbor who has been looking to display the few items of her fathers military service in. While the shadow box was a...
I figured I would show a couple of these Ross Bayonet converted knives I picked up awhile back. The few links I have found with information on these conversions has been reasonable as shown in the...
WWII M3 knives are very sought after, a good many having been well used in service for their intended purpose and postwar as hunting and camping knives too. I remember there being a discussion that...
Happy New Year to everyone!
Well I can finally be happy about solving a small problem with my VZ2008 (VZ58 Clone)! Apparently a split spring magazine securing pin was not installed when my Century...
So far have noticed 75,76,78 dated headstamps on the HXP I picked up. nice stuff! Get it while its available! I have not noticed it anywhere else except at Cheaper Than Dirt. After searching the web,...
FWIW, Picked up a case of 450 on the stripper clips, nice and pretty clean, a few with minor corrosion only found in two boxes. Just grimy more than anything else from what I saw in all the boxes....

Hello Peter,
I have an extra Indian long scabbard that I'll send you, its from one of those long Indian FAL's that has been turned into a fighting knife. I gave one of these to Brian, in which he...
Nice rifle! I have a BSA Model 15 Centurian that is in need of a new stock, looks like it has been beat up like a fence post and someone scalloped the buttstock in the cheek weld area rather roughly....
Nice rifle to enjoy!
Just been following this thread a bit. I've recently posted items to a friend in Australia, and I asked to insure that there are no new hangups with their postal service. As long as I mark the items...
This is a recent closed auction of a Mk.1 Type 1 Wilkinson 3 rivet that recently finished. The link is below. It would be interesting to know how many of these were made? I understand Wilkinson were...
Nice looking addition, should be a fun shooter once you get it completed!
Brit Plumber, I think the wood grips would look good on your no.5, maybe even on one of those slr bayonets too. Looks like a challenge ahead to refurb them (I believe there is a post archived on this...
Thanks for the reply! I have a few other bayonets that I will have him look at and see what he can do later, this one will be be included. I'll just have to remove the grips. I figured it would give...
Well, the last bits from Mr. Laidler thru Brian at BDL lTD, showed up last week! I finally assembled the grips onto the N187. Definitely looks a lot better! Thanks for all the suggestions and...

Nice restoration, keep it up!
Well, here is the latest updates currently being attended on the No.5. I have received the correct parts from Mr. Laidler, via Brian at BDL Ltd, and it is very much appreciated. I have taken some...
I find it adds a bit more character to my collection even though I only have this one and the Indian version of this style training rifle. I do not have any of the demilled Mk.III DP rifles, usually...
Thanks for the update Mr. Laidler, it is appreciated.
Apparently I loaded two of the same picture, so I ill correct it, and show the one I intended.
Well, it is nice to look at. Even though it is definitely going to be way out of my price range.....
