What has happened to Peter Laidler and friends charged with stealing guns and parts?
Did you buy the trench knife? I have two and by the pictures it looked very real. I have seen the scabbard sell for $500, just the scabbard.
Thanks,

I was in Nepal 2 years ago. I bought a knife from a soldier (that was standing guard at a temple) but when I looked at it closely it did not seem to be of military quality. I believe it was from one...

I used Purple power on my stock and it did do wonders. Some of the spots and dark areas were just really caked on dirt, of course not all of the dark oil spots came off but like you said that was to...
Thank you for your reply Mr. Laidler. Sounds like you had a good solution to not traping water. Mine does not appear to have had a cap on it at all. Were more done with or without caps or is there no...
There is no metal cap on the forearm of the stock that I ask about cleaning in an earlier post. The nos. match on the stock so I do not think it has been changed. Is it less common than ones with...
Thank all of you for the possible solutions to cleaning an oily stock.
I cleaned the stock with a general purpose cleaner but really dark spots will not come clean. Is there a cleaner that will remove the spots with out sanding? I think that the dark areas are from 70...

I just got a 4/45 Frazakerley Jungle carbine here in Eastern NC. There is some rust and pitting but for 200.00 I could not pass it up. I think it will clean up pretty well. I missed a no 1 mk3 for...

The one I have has not been converted to modern .410. I believe it would have more collector value if not converted. I have seen some at gun shows he in Eastern NC the asking price was in the 4 to 6...
