I purchased these this afternoon. Two are Bren Gun covers dated 1940 and 1956 made by MEC, the other is a spare barrel cover made by Bagcraft. All originated from the Irish Defence Forces ie...

Can anyone identify this dagger and give an estimate of its worth

I don't want to sell I was curious as to their worth in case I paid too much. I was hoping they would be FF marked but the one not in the wrapper isn't.
Magazine manufacture fascinates me.

I have two Mk3 magazines still in their wrappers what are they worth in the UK?

Does any one have a spare set of colour matching woodwork for a London Small Arms No 1 Mk 3. I am in the UK. Dings and signs of age don't matter as long as there are no chunks missing.

Do .577 cases not expand so much when fired that they can't be reloaded?

Thanks Frederick303 very informative

I was issued one in 1982 along with a .22 Walther pistol for personal protection. There are still some of these around.

Does anyone know the value of a fully stocked 42MB in the UK?

I suggest you leave the rifle as it is and don't worry about the handguard then read the page in Ian Skennertons book towards the end on the RIC carbine and you will realise what you have.

"I remember special portable rifle vices with curved jaws that could be clamped to a bench or a stout marquee pole (late 60's)."
An old Parker Hale catalogue I have says these were for Safaris

When using 1949 Radway Green ammunition in my Longbranch No4 five out of every ten rounds are ejecting with split necks. I have no problem with my home loads. Is this common?

Bought a reprint of this book 2 weeks ago on Amazon

I have a LSA Long Lee .22 trainer with volley sights and .303 magazine. The serial number has only three digits. I assume the volley sights were for practising fire control orders at the landscape...

I picked this up at the Pheonix Show. The label shows 63rd Surrey which in the Last War was Home Guard, would they have had a Skeleton Action No4 Mk1?

"It's a lovely rifle and has a .303 magazine cleverly modified internally to feed 7.62 rounds. "

Brian do you have a picture or description. Slightly off topic but very interesting all the same.
