The records from REL show that by Mar of 43, 135 no32mk1 telescopes had been delivered. If you look through the other pages I posted on that thread,...
All changes made. I suspect Jawes has one of the larger collections of 90Ls in existence.
Seems like more of the rifles have not been showing up lately. Eventually they will surface.
In early 1945, there was a multi-national exercise in Northern Saskatchewan to test various equipment and tactics in the far North under arctic conditions. There was a 3 volume set of books made to...
That is not another lightweight but in fact the same one. Both are serial no 17.
Interesting that it would appear to be a 43 Longbranch receiver which was recycled into the lightweight. Also notable...

Yes, 1320 is the conversion number. I assume the 63 is the year. If I find my other tag I'll see if it has the same prefix.
As requested. I picked up the barrelled receiver with bolt at a gunshow with this tag hanging off it. It had never been re-assembled into a rifle so was likely unfired in it's 7.62 form. I eventually...
They are not stamped DCRA. The 1101 on the receiver, bolt, and barrel indicate it was converted at Canadian Arsenals. Accurizing the rifle would have fallen on the owner, or in this case, possibly...
There is a thread with recorded conversion numbers over on Cdn gun nutz : CanadianGunNutz.com
For old school slot drive and non-plated fasteners, I order from these guys: Blacksmith Bolt & Rivet Supply
Their stuff is already chemical blackened, and priced right.

Here are a couple shots of mine....a totally different bird, but shows the Cdn property marks on a British made rifle.

I have a no4mk1(T) that is British made but Canadian marked. I would have to look at it again, but it has a decent sized C/l\ stamped on the wrist near the serial number, and a small C/l\ on the...
Personally, I always view the serial number with great suspicion when I see file marks in the area of the serial. Same goes for different finish, or a slight flat spot in the area. The wrist of this...
