Good Day, I don't believe the examples listed for sale by D&B are UK MoD. They appear to be the Swedish m96 Mauser dual plastic cleaning tubes.

I think this is the Interior of a UH-34 Helicopter

The SAC markings look like they were done with a vibro pen or similar tool. I would be interested to know of the gas cylinder pads are chrome lined?

The OPs picture is fascinating. It illustrates not only the use of a 60mm Mortar with M7 grenade launcher, but a pair of T34 (Calliope) Sherman rocket launcher variants. The latter saw service...

In 2014-15, I worked in ISAF/RS HQ in Kabul, Afghanistan. The Italian Regiment(s) were predominantly in Herat and their Alpini Liaisons at the HQ were quite professional and an honor to work with. ...

Humm, it's set during the Vietnam War. But two of the three helicopters in the background are UH60 Blackhawks. That's an Opps from the art department.

Gas trap garand. I wonder if he was shipping out the Iceland in the early part of the war?

Ian McCollum and Forgotten Weapons have produced a short video on the history of the L39A1 rifle titled; L39A1: British Service Target Rifle Before the L42A1. It's informative and worth a review.

Good Day,
Thank you for the fascinating information on the commercial 7.62 conversion. I'm familiar with the stamped charger bridge. When was it adopted?

I would like to add it to the CES for my L42A1 and wanted to find it if this would be correct for the timeframe.

I asked about it a few days ago, https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=47454&page=31 and messaged the seller. His response was prompt and cordial. He stated,

Good Day All,
I purchased my Longbranch No4 Mk1* South African target rifle rifle when I was stationed in the UK in 2011. The trade dealer had recently brought it in directly from the family that...

I was on the edge when the rifles first were offered but put a hold on the idea when it was id'd the mounts were not included like the ad said they were. Navy Arms/OWS said they were coming but after...

Thank you. Great information.

Thank you! That makes sense. Do you have a firing position picture of the sling when used in this hasty indirect firing role?

Good Day
The slings are a great addition. The brass tabs are used when the slings are installed on the BM-59 series rifles. I'm not sure how but they are used with indirect rifle grenade ranging....

Good Day,
The tall instrument stand for telescope were often used often in conjunction with the heliograph Mk V during WW1 and even through WW2. Later on, they saw use as a stand alone item for...
