    What is this thing? and

    does anyone want it?

    I got this today, it clearly is a training device for Enfield Riflesicon. No clue how it works or WHAT it does? Is it worth anything? I figured someone might want it among the Enfield collectors?

    I didin't pay much, so unless it is something really rare, I don't want much either! LOL.

    Ah, yes, the top, rifle mounting from a 'STAND, aiming'. Used for training recruits in the art of aiming rifles. Best described if someone shows a picture of the whole thing. You're missing the tripod part
    Training value., nil
    monetry value, same

    Peter, it DOES have value. Seldom and seldom encountered. I would not mind acquiring it, and I believe there are several others drooling over it also. Post it on the trader and see what happens.

    I have a complete one of those sitting in my basement....

    Unless someone else posts a pic of the complete unit for you first, I'll try to take some pics tomorrow and put them in this thread.

    Badger, if you get to take some pics, could you do a close-up of the screw adjustment for elevation? Mine is missing all the threaded bits, and I was looking at making one for it.
    Ta, mate.

    Thumbs up

    Ok, found some time today to take some pics….

    It's a Canadianicon MK III Armourer's Rest manufactured by AML and you'll see the C Broad Arrow markings on various parts. It's in pretty good shape, but the leather to protect the rifle is almost completely worn off the holders.

    Hope this helps ...

    Regards,
    Badger

    Just the elevation screw assembly (I'm easy taken care off) I have the rest

    The one in Hugh's pic doesn't look to be kitted for an elevation screw. Weren't they the later ones for the FN FAL/ SLR? I have seen a couple in a disposal store, they were new enough to have an NSN on them.
