Hi Guys
I wonder if anyone knows of a source for a repro C7 .22 cleaning rod as included in the transit case. I say repro because I want one made with a PH tread given the original cleaning kit is...
hi,
that link does not appear to work here in the UK?? Can you PM me Hanks email please?
Uuum absolutely, I think this one may remain a mystery.
Possibly, but if so it's for use with a rod which finishes with a "female" tread.
Thanks Peter.
From somewhere else I've been told "The first item was catalogued by Parker Hale in 1936 as a "Steel Rag Drawer Bit", i.e. a stuck patch remover. It's stated to be for use with a...
Thanks Peter, I was hoping you'd turn up. Was that for full bore or small bore?
Yes ... but it is only threaded at one end. The other is simply rounded off so it cant be screwed onto a rod.
The ball extractor for a muzzleloader seems the best bet for the other thing, the...
In my collection of vintage cleaning gear I have two objects which are puzzling me.
The first is a .22 steel(?) jag like thing which tapers to a sharp point and has a spiral thread all the way to...
Thanks Peter, your input is always welcome. I had always assumed it was a Mk1 chest.
I was a bit surprised when the paint came and revealed the marking on the chest which is quite different to the...
I've taken a longer look at my chest. The gloss top coat is so flaky that I could brush it pff with a stiff brush so reluctantly I am going to have to completely sand it down and repaint. I've...
Outstanding - thank you so much.
Hold the compass flat with the glass uppermost and the lid open and facing away from you. Then slowly rotate it through 360deg around the long axis still keeping it flat. The bubble will should then...
Thank you so much. Can you say what the whole line of writing measures?
Over the years I have refurbished dozen of these compasses. In point of fact the bubble trap should cope with that bubble. Just try rotating it gently and it should disappear. Refilling the compass...
The chest has at sometime been sanded and repainted, the stencilling is unreadable. I can make a guess to the nearest inch. Equally I can scale up a photo or use a photo to place the marks on the...
Has anybody got the exact dimensions of the original pattern of stencil for the C15 transit chest for the Canadian CNo7 .22 rifle.?
Or even a replica stencil???
I would be so grateful,
It would need to be paired with a clearing lens on the rear sight surely?
Yep, tat's what I thought too!:rofl:
Hi Guys
Can anybody tell me anything about the likely history of this C No7 chest, which I am going to use for my exRN N9.
Its obviously not in its original paint. It was originally matt dull...
I've sung that song myself!
My point exactly, I am seeking this for a collection, not for use!
Peter,
I'm sure it would be easy enough to make, but my collectors genes won't let me!
Ill let you into a secret if you promise to tell nobody. I've never mastered the art of wrapping the .22...
Thank you, at least I know act they look like! even if I can't afford one!
I agree they are likely to be difficult to find - but Ill keep looking and one will turn up!
