All the times I was through there while travelling to duty in the east I never stopped to see the place. That was as far back as 1981...when most things from WW2 still stood. And as far forward as...

Looks more like rappelling to me...

Those pics will have gone in the great reset...

In case that link dies of old age...

Barrel Proofmarks
The distinguishing characteristic of Lend-Lease rifles is, of course, the British barrel proofing stamps. In fact, these M1s were called...

At least you know there's a source of info for your build.

I think that would be a matter of opinion and what frogs the battalions happened to have. As long as they weren't for the #4 spike they would fit the scabbard and they COULD be fitted, you could...

Happened to the couple next door. She died at 95 and he within a couple months at 103. He had a DFC and she had a full rack from fueling aircraft on airfields...in WW2. I still miss them.

No, that's still in place. People are still largely unaware that there are people owning machine guns in Canada, they wring their hands about my owning a Ruger mini 14... They'd tell you there are...

Nothing in SRS #1 even comes close Bill. I know other guys here have later SRS tables...maybe there's something else has come to light?

I did look up all the numbers on your list before...nothing...

Once you've looked at a few dozen you can see when the base of the pistol grip has been altered. It'll be out of round and chamfered...like this one.

Yes, I've been told 50/50. I just use straight and a couple hours or until it's ALL gone. It'll do it up perfect for you. If you leave it overnight, it'll turn black when you wash it.

Yes they did. I was from the Windsor area, if you said nothing to declare...stand by to be boarded.

That'll do it...

There was one for sale here local for about $5000 CDN not long ago...don't know what happened to it though.

The tank shown in the field has a broken track, left track is incomplete just below the front idler wheel. Watch at 2.21 and you can see the end of the track in front of the first road wheel. ...

So...did this ever get sorted out? What eventually did you do?

Not many pics are there?

I am in agreement with that assessment.



You could find that backfire nowdays. There have been instance of being refused service once they determine you're Canadian, one guy had to bring...

You're right about the sanding. The heel should have much more material on the flat and if you look at the pistol grip you can see how much has been sanded off. The area at the buttplate should be...

I would have soaked in Muriatic acid and be done with rust. It works wonderfully.

The pics here are not a "K bar" but a Mk1 I think. It was just leather stock. I did a kit too and the hardest...

Exactly.

I knew a man here that was a gun business wholesaler, came to Canada after the war. He still spoke poor and broken English after 45 years... Apparently had to escape Italy as he'd had a falling out...

There you go...

Are you suggesting you'll cut tips off FMJ ammo? That can result in a stuck jacket in a barrel, be aware. It's not a regular occurrence but really CAN happen. Would be disastrous...

Looks good.
