I used to be a minor expert & major bore on the M40 series.
In fact I built a few reproductions using various original & period correct items.
There are a few glaring omissions in the build which...
“The one that got away.” starring Hardy Kruger.
Not a classic war film i’ll concede but very well done & faithful to the book as far as I recall.
G’day Bruce,
Who would be the manufacturer that you speak of?
I’m sure I recall at least 2 or 3 DUKW’s underneath the Captain Cook bridge in the late 70’s or early 80’s.
33 out of 40.
The seller would be well aware of angel’s matchmaking service.
You might want to check out snipershide vintage section where a member,ex sf,recently posted his sten rebuild (amongst many i might ad).
But it is loose change,just donate all your loose change to the go fund me campaign i’m setting up.

Malcolm Eames in Brisbane will be the man to speak to in this hemisphere.
They're quite unique stamps on the butt socket.
Is there a S stamp on the cut off block?
Definitely showing your shoe size with the Hardy boys reference.
We load 10 rounds & give a "Mauser Break" for those that need it.
Then again,we don't play for sheep stations.
What specifically do you need or want to know?
And are you sure about the D?
I think you might need to change your user name to Indiana Jones,great find!
Yes I saw that one & thought the same.
Remember a couple of years ago & the listed price of HT snipers seemed to set the benchmark for latter sales?Who knows what they actually sold for,but the...
I hear or rather read a lot of things about reproduction no.32 scopes,most of it isn't favourable-whilst others think they're the sunshine & lemons of the optics world.
You've asked for advice,it's...
Just acquired a Savage 2 groove Mk1 & would like to work up a load for it.
I'm interested in using the AV Ballistics 154gr with AR2208,but can't find any load data.
99% of the time this rifle will...
Looking at the pads on Fulton's site,the front pad appears to have a rebate or a shelf on the top part of the pad,like the mill cutting the bevelled edge has left a step.
Do any WW2 pads exhibit...
More likely an E that's been covered by the scope block.
