How good do the wire cutters work? Has anyone tried them?
-
The wire cutters work well....I ran one through my father in law's barb wire fence years ago and it did sterling service. I was not about the try the wire breakers due to the cattle in the fields....

Doug/Badger, the Knowlege Library is a very interesting place with many good articles in it.
Just to let you know it's appreciated!

The wire cutters didn't work so well when you were advancing at the front of hundreds following up behind you................ especially when you were being shot at by machine gns. And being up front didn't help none either!
Spinecracker, you might be interested to know (on the other hand, you might already know.........) that your box was re-packed at 655 Base Ammunition Depot in October 1981. This wasn't a British Base Ammo Depot as we had code marks on ours instead of numbers - like BRA for Bracht or KT for Kineton or LTN for Longtown etc etc. I'd say it was an ex Indian Army box but made in the UK none the less
Talking of wire cutters, has anyone out there fot a set of ROSS rifle wirecutters? What aboiut a P-14 cup discharger?

Here is a picture of the Ross wire cutters. I don't know of another set around so correct me if wrong. Interesting that the Ross is pull activated while the British are push. The Ross wire cutters had a leather gaiter on the forend to pick up the wire rather than picking the wire up on the bayonet. I'll do a few photo's of the breakers later, along with a Patt. 14 launching rifle with the wraps and reinforcements.
