Nice find flying10. Lithgow MK2 wood work is very scarce as the stuff only appeared right at the end of the production run in '45. My Lithgow MK1A is within 20 of the last '45 guns made and that has...

Nice find flying10. Lithgow MK2 wood work is very scarce as the stuff only appeared right at the end of the production run in '45. My Lithgow MK1A is within 20 of the last '45 guns made and that has...
All of the above, but all so remember the headspace is done on the rim so this may be correct on the barrel you were having difficulty with, that is why there are guages for inspecting the large and...
There are Enfield marked examples of the simplified pattern with lip out there. The Aussies did the MK1 pattern then the simplified pattern with lip then moved onto a sleeve with out lip, then...
To answer the question by Flying10uk. The Lewis mag in the photo's you have posted (Flying10uk.) It is from Nepal. Hope that is of some use to you.
Having not long de-greased the RBA mags, after spending 24hrs in the old JIZER tank,there are a couple of observations i would like to make.
1. The RBA phosphate finish is much rougher than the...
Thanks kev g for posting the pics of the RBA marked mags i discovered the other week(i dont do photobucket.)
1. B.H.P.'Broken hill proprietray' company produced the steel ingots at their newcastle...
Sorry, did not zoom in on the thumbnail photo of the ELECTROLUX bottom plate you had posted earlier.
Thank you Kev g for doing the photo image for me.
1. I hope the image of the ELECTROLUX bottom plates helps you out, next time you are at a show/fair FLYING10
2. I would be interested if anyone...
ELECTROLUX made the Mk1* bottom plate of which i have several in my collection.
The only component so far that i cannot find made by ELECTROLUX is the platform, all the ELECTROLUX mag's i have...
Is there any more markings on the mag apart from the J? The mag is a Mk2*, the roman numerals are very faint and they have been over stamped by the broad arrow. The split/wrapped mags are uncommon...
I have not seen a M.A. Marked box yet.
Well done flying10.
I managed to pick an Electrolux box up at the War&Peace show a month back. It has the same markings as yours, just got to get 12 Electrolux mags now to fill it up, which should...
I have yet to see any MK1 mag bodies made by B.S.A. or AUSTIN, as you mentioned FLYING10 it would seem logical that if they have obviously tooled up to make the MK1 bottom plate to the relevant...
Thanks kev G for posting the pics of some of the Mk1 floor plates in my collection.
I asked Kev G to post the pics so that collecters can see it was not only ENFIELD that manufactured Mk1 floor...
Are there any 30-06 canadian brens in private hands anywhere or are the only one's left in museums?
Sorry FLYING10UK when i said ZB i meant CESKOSLOVENSKA ZBROJOVKA factory in the CEZCH REPUBLIC. Each gun they sent to IRELAND, supplied through the WAR OFFICE had a 12 mag tin and a 6 mag half tin...
I have a few here to look at, that 100% came over with the shipment from Ireland. There seems to be 3 types.
1. ZB made half box that contains 6 mags
2. ZB made full 12 mag box
3. Post war made...
I think they were originaly sourced from PAK. Thats where the last batch of L4A3's came from that have recently been on the european scene.
Attention U.K. Collectors.
There is just over a month left before the new eu deact regulation comes into effect.
At the moment this will greatly effect the HMG,MMG & LMG class of weapons, so if...

Thanks to everybody for the responses and photo's. Looks like i am getting closer to finding a aussie .303 12MAG box. There is no listing of FGK in skennertons british makers identification list....
Big thank you LITHY for the pics. Can you get a close up of the 796 number with the broad arrow at all?
SCRIVO18 I would appreciate if you could look on yours to see what markings the mag box has on...
I agree about the point of sending mag boxes to oz, logic says the must have made them in oz but like I said before I have never seen one and would like to see some photos of some so I know what to...
Sorry peter
Did not use modern collector jargon(double dove tail.) That all mk1 brens have one dovetail as a given. Just wanted to know if anyone had one the same.
Had a look at the serial number...
Bought a 1941 Enfield MK1 dovetail Bren recently at a show and wondered if anybody else had something like it?
It is in the K serial number range. I think it may have had a problem in manufacture...
