I have just been reading through this thread. Mr E has been quite helpful & PM'd at least two other members with the same information he's sent me, ... so why the attack on me for not posting this...

I apologise if you feel I'm not being helpful. I'll elucidate my posts.
The getting upset thing arose out of placing a couple of posts requesting help on squishing bullets - and then the...

Looks like you'll have to wait for me, I'll not abuse the good will of someone who's spared time to help me.

I've been sent some info by Mr E and am investigating further how to go about making a set. Some engineering experience is need (which I have). I will post here my results but that will probably not...

Thank you.

Just looking in again. I'd given up being noticed. I'm still interested in these bumping up dies if anyone can supply spec's - or even a picture & few notes on how they work.
Upsetting is a...

I'm getting upset :crying:

Hi, me again. Can anyone fix me up with spec's for these upsetting dies? .312's are none existent in England bar PPU's which I've been told are useless.

Hi, You've got another one interested. Could Mr E or bigduke please email the required info. There's a not unreasonable possibility I know someone who would be willing to make up a few sets. Besides...

I take it you've had a good trawl through a certain ebbie-auction site. Some of the Chinese stuff is quite usable.

I hope I haven't come across as not listening. Knowledge & advise was the reason I joined here & I'm grateful for all that has been said regarding my new acquisition. Given that this bayonet has a...

Well this is a fine mess but am I down hearted? Nope! This bayonet fits it role for me perfectly. I have to agree with everything presented, I now think it highly likely the blade has been re-blacked...

Thanks for that information everyone. So a mystery mark. There is the usual bend test X on the ricasso but this is larger. It begs the question, should there be an 'L' or 'N' stamped somewhere? I've...

Some of you may know already that I've just acquired an immaculate example of a P'07. I'm puzzled by a stamp mark on the back of the tang. Where I'd be expecting an 'L' or 'N' for land or naval...

I was thinking of during WW2 as I'm quite sure Unertle et al were all post WW1. Dewey has Win x8 (7/8" objective) that looks affordable but I'm assuming this is also post WW1.

Well this thread is about the P'07 :rolleyes:

Hi, Just thought I'd stick my oar in here regarding sharp edges, as I'm now the proud owner of p'07 that looks like it was never issued. :dancingbanana: There is a bevel ground on it but it's not...

Thank you all again. My question seems to be answered. Thanks for the link to Dewey. I'd come across his site before but hadn't book marked it & couldn't find it again. Would there be any of the...

Thanks Roger, got your PM.
Thanks Badger , I've just go round to reading the article on the MVA B5 which gives a decent appraisal. A useful backup plan me thinks.

Burris signature rings have offset plastic liners that allow windage or elevation correction ( or anything in between ). You can get 10 - 20 (even 30?) thou offset sets. £50 - £70 for the rings & ...

Thanks everyone. I had found badger's example in the Knowledge Lib, (seriously nice & thanks for posting it again here, badger) but it didn't really answer my question about the B5. Interesting to...

None taken, gew. Granddad was one for making & mod'ing stuff - unfortunately (or not) it seems congenital.

Hi, I getting a little lost looking for answers to this so am posting my questions :surrender:. I'm looking to set up my (bitsa) SMLE with a Winchester A5 type scope. I keep coming across references...

Thank you all for those views. My Granddad was in WW1, first in the trenches then in the early airforce as observer in various planes, he'd have been 16 when it started . He survived and went into...

I have just been going over this thread again to try and reassure myself I'd got it right. I'm sure that this is a late 1888 made into a fighting knife. But this review has raised a new question....
