Love to see that rifle Frank...

Mags don't fit right from "The box". They have to be fitted and tweaked. The lips might need a touch up or down and the spine might need an adjustment so the mag fits properly. They are soft...

Well I don't think the rifle is a Long Branch any way so that could match.

Yes that's right. Canadian Arsenals markings. That's the right era, C broad arrow was earlier.

Sure they are, specially if this one turns out legit. A standard #4 rifle now in Victoria seems to glean between $800 and $1400 CDN depending on things and these are harder to find. (If it's good)

Or perhaps even though 100 was the original number there were substantially les actually produced? Stopped short because of a change of mind...? Then they usually try to corral them all for...

Nope, like Brian says those were just .303. They had enough trouble keeping those running without adding scarce parts like the mags and ejectors. I had one myself back in the '70's that came from a...

That WAS the idea at one point, the military wanting to have everything as a one size fits all...the rifle belt wasn't going to hold Carbine mags so lets go the other way round. They wanted to issue...

Doesn't look like it. I see a groove.

Joe Salter...I knew him at one time. That was years ago when he came out here to visit an old friend regularly. If it's really odd, he'll have it. He has the volume.

No idea what you should...

I remember those pics coming back.

Well, FN C1A1s, close enough parts changed around. Just the markings and some small parts differed. Our original ARs were all Colt manufactured A2s except the lower was unmarked and unfinished. We...

Sounds like we run about parallel. I didn't get to using ARs until a bit later, about '76 I think.

Well I can tell you it's not.

Yes, that was the conclusion arrived at here also. It was one of the few FA parts we were allowed to have on our pieces here.

There were bayonets for all the different REAL contenders, they had to also pass trial.

I've had a few, two or three. Started with an original Russian back in about '86/'87 before any were in Canada and ammo was hard to get, they were OK. Strictly a banger. A friend had such poor...

Nice, I had to look a long time to find a side swivel mount. I too changed out any open back bolt groups with solid FA groups. It's the way they were originally designed.

Nice catch...

I can't remember ever firing one now...

You'd be surprised, we had lots of it. I guess it was purchased through the system and just brought straight in. M37 truck, M135 truck, some of our tentage, our mountain stove M'51, Lots of our...

Yes, that would make perfect sense. The one I showed you is what we used in the military but I don't recall if it had US markings or not.

Can't he get 7.62x45? Searches come up with multiple sites.

Buffalo arms has brass. 7.62X45 Czechoslovakian* Reloadable, Reformed Brass Cases/Boxer Primed

Is he just looking for something...

Just what I suspected, simply lengthened to fit.

I can tell you from experience that if you shoot that hot the paint will come off on anything it touches. Anything.
