I've just purchased the remains of an '07 quillon bayonet & need some advice. Back in the 60s it was common to put things into a clear compound & make paper-weights of them. I thought this might be a...

Perhaps MKVII could clear it up. I was of the opinion that he meant that the R.A.F. blue webbing ceased to be issued in the '50s.

And the 60s & the early 70s belts, gaiters, small packs & back packs were still on general issue. Well until Feb 8th 1975 when I took my final leave of HM forces

This thread is dragging on for so long (with no indication of resolution) on so many Forii(?) that I am tempted to say that a discussion on cordite by Ed H. & GunnerSam would be a welcome relief....

When I did my Apprenticeship, which was around the same time as you, Peter, what you're doing was called "farting against thunder". This discussion can go on for ever, there's none so deaf as those...

Have I got a bridge to sell you.

That's an awfully expensive "IF" & on the evidence presented on both forums, I for one will keep my $400 towards a REAL #7 Mk1.

In my household $1000 adds up to quite a tidy sum. With #1 MkIIIs going, in Edmonton, in the region of $500-$600 then $400 is a lot to pay for a fake stamp

Thank you very much Steve

I took the sling off my 4T to apply a much neeeded dose of Dubbin but didn't take note of assembly order. I've tried looking at the 4T at the top of the library page but can't get a clear enough...

I am not seeing in this discussion an important point raised in the gunboards forum's discussion. That is; "The German Eagle is facing the WRONG way." If this is so surely this would put it in the...

I've tried adding pics from photo bucket but seem to be technology challanged,so if you go to classicarms.co.za you can look at Lots...

Thanks guys. The cut barrel for me is a no no but I just thought 'd see if I was being overly picky. I've now decided which ones I'm going to try for & will post pics when I come back from holiday.

I posted the following on another Lee-Enfield forum & got zero response :banghead: so I'm hoping you guys are more communicative.:help:

Just a couple or three questions;
Do C.L.L.E.s & L.E.1*s...

I'll drink to that, for sure. :beerchug:

Hey Alfred am I correct in my deduction that in a previous life you were know as GunnerSam?

They say that old soldiers never die but this one isn't even fading away.

Bit harsh there Peter. I'm not sure I could have hacked RM basic training either. At least he had the balls to opt out, even knowing, as a Royal, he would face moreflack than average.

I know I've been overseas for a long time, so when did Abingdon move from Berkshire to Oxfordshire. Pickfords must have made a bomb.
