It been down a while, it has been a great resource tool.

I have used the web archive to see earlier versions of the site: 7.62x54r.net

There's one for sale currently, in the UK for £14,500.

I thought these unmarked bayonets were supplied by Sterling with their Commercial Contracts for their MIV (L2A3) SMG

Peters Barrels are world class, the amount of effort & time that goes in to manufacturing them comes at a cost, when you then factor in bluing or blacking, fitting the sights, breaching up, proofing...

This is the Large monument opposite our house in Italy, the smaller one is in the neighbouring Village of Atina. The larger one does has some bomb damage and the rear has been machine gunned when the...

What I don't know, Were they built originally as a L2A1 Sub Caliber unit or converted from a original No8 & new markings applied.

This example, I presume has been converted back to a No8 in...

We imported several batches of these from South Africa. All had the standard South African issue/ownership marks.

a Couple of 3 Inch revolvers came in today, both came in from South Africa.
