I think those might be about half as big as needed.

I wonder...if there was a written directive to change them to the machined model after the war, or during quieter times? I don't know where Canada's surplus #5s came from, maybe Interarms in the old...

And then never allowed a ball bullet with a clipped point to be fired from it again.

His theory was "We're going to aid in Humanitarian, not make war"...so no war fighting equipment. We've done exactly the same thing for decades and got pinched a couple times too. His theory was...

First I think I've ever seen.

What we've found in past is that with military rifles, if the number isn't on the list it wasn't there. The number on each side was but it wasn't.

Agreed but they need to be sturdy.

I'd like to shoot one of those...

Too bad, wish I'd have been close. I'd have got that out for him. Yes. wish there was conclusion to these threads.

Hope all is well with you Charlie...

If you have a tank going anyway, do all the metal as they were completely done. Coming along nicely.

Thought I'd throw some more pics here. I grabbed one each of the newer Gerber knives mainly because I wished they'd been available 50 years ago...I think they're about perfect for issue. Not too...
