Two blue BREN length slings.

$25 delivered for the pair of BREN slings.

Two No1 MkIII upper handguards and a lower handguard WITHOUT ears. Perfectly serviceable, they just won't cover the base...

Last GG stock I saw for sale locally was $200 with no markings and it didn't sell that show as far as I'm aware.

I think that second cartouche might be RA-P.

Thanks all. Any idea where to locate one in the US?

Just curious which version of the frog that might be.

Thanks.

If you are mechanically inclined and don't feel like buying one, chamber reamers can be rented.

I've got a PH5E I'd pop apart to check if you think that'd help.

In a pinch, get yourself a set of numbered drill bits and use the shank to get you in the ballpark. Stick the shank in the detent...

What is the current consensus on rifles with butts marked FR?

Indian/Pakistani?

Looking for a late WWI or early 1920's web sling for a SMLE at the moment.

Not really looking to pay $250 for the one WWI dated sling I can locate presently.

Not sure if you found these guys: Mauser Broomhandle Barrel Restoration Redmans Rifling and Reboring
