Well I've been caught out.
Going thru my collection looking for a particular mark when I came across this
Attachment 126269
Now I've always said that I did not have an FTR in my collection, but I guess that was incorrect, and an Air Force one to boot.

I will just zip up and smile :lol: :D nah cant resist old timers disease
A cukoo in the nest - clear it out immediately, if you send it to me I ensure it doesn't infect the rest of your collection.
I don't know if the saying is common outside of the UK, and at the risk of teaching your granny to suck eggs
What does a cuckoo in the nest mean?
"An unwelcome intruder in a place or situation"
Looks like a lovely rifle, great to have a RAAF example too.
A d E Muff is old,:) more than old enough to know the meaning of that saying :thup:
Nice!
I shudder now every time I walk past that safe.
Muffet,
......................................and there I was thinking I was going to be reading all about Bill Clinton :lol:

Air Force???? That lot of slovenly dressed, undisciplined civilians?
You need to decontaminate your collection immediately!
....actually, I spent a bit of time with the ADG, pretty switched on lot but we had it over them with "Sneak and Peak"
Well, I guess I’m buggered too! My MA55 Lithgow FTR has the A broad arrow F stamp and I put a nice original blue sling on it which I believe we’re used by the RAAF. It was on my list to have a nice Ozzy No1, so I guess I’m going to keep it!
Interesting that there are so many SMLE's marked AF, as they were mostly issued with No. 4's.
The SMLE I have is an AF FTR. It stands to reason as my dad got it when he was in the RAAF.
