Hi John,
Thanks, I will check out Guncraft and let you know how I get on.
Hi Mr Clarke. how are you getting on with the XM177E2 build? I too am more interested in old school AR15 / M16 variants and I am looking for someone in the UK who can build a similar style AR15 / M4...
As this thread relates to a Faz No4 with FTR markings I thought I would add the following. I have a No4 mk1/2 that has Maltby 1943 markings on the action body along with 1955 (F) FTR markings.
Apart...
Some of pics of a nice Ferret preserved here in the UK.
Regards,
John.

Anyone interested in knowing more about the rifle / scope combination as mentioned in the original post should check out the Thames Valley Guns (TVG) website (sorry not sure how to post a link)....
Hi Cinders, I just happen to have an old copy of British Tanks and Fighting Vehicles by B.T. White and The Observer's Fighting Vehicle Directory WW11 Edition by Bart H Vanderveen. Both from the...
The Armoured Command Vehicle shown in Merriden part 4 looks like an Armoured Command Vehicle, LP (AEC) 4x4 Mk1 based on the AEC Matador chassis. Mainly used by armoured formation headquarters on the...
I saw this Ferret at a car museum on Anglesey last year and thought I would share a couple of pictures with you.

Hi Gil,
That would be Pendennis Castle near Falmouth. They have quite a few artillery pieces, some of which they fire at mid-day on certain days. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
John.
Here is a picture showing two versions of the 25 pounder (with later muzzle break fitted).
Standard version and one without the shield fitted.
Regards John.
Thanks Gil, sounds good!

John.
Hey Gil, ask Father Christmas to bring me one too!
I think a lot of people would go for a .22lr SLR at the right price.

John.
I had the chance to have a look at Tippmann M4 .22 at the British Shooting Show at the NEC Birmingham today. It didn't feel quite as heavy as my Bremmer SAR15 but still felt more like the "real deal"...
Hi John, the Bremmer uses a self contained bolt. The buffer tube is completely blanked off. I use Black Dog mags that hold the bolt back after the last round. Not as good as operating the latch but...
My Bremmer SAR 15 .22 Carbine (based on the US M261 .22 bolt assembly) and my S&W 15-22 both work really well with CCI Mini Mags. Never have a problem, but one of my shooting pals who has a Bremmer...
I know the Hawker Hunter in the attached pictures is not a gate guardian but it still makes an interesting site and helps relieve the misery of being stuck in traffic on the A40 out of London.
I have just looked at some pictures of both the Lewis Gun and the Vickers K, the sights are very similar. Going on what Woodsy said about it being the correct size to fit his Lewis Gun I am inclined...
I have done a quick sketch showing the principle dimensions (in mm) although it would most certainly have been made to imperial measurements (I have been using metric for too long now). It is non...
I have this rear sight which I think may be from an aircraft machinegun. The reason I think this is because I was given it by someone who had been a civilian employee at an RAF station during WW2 and...
Well the main thing for me is that we have established that it is a genuine No5 Mk2 bayonet. And it goes well with my 12/45 Faz No5 Mk1 rifle.
Thanks everyone for your input.
Regards,
John.
Does anyone know the when Poole stopped making the No5 bayonet?
If it was a 61 date would that indicate that it was intended for the Stirling SMG?
Thank you everyone for your comments. I have learnt a lot since joining this forum and it is much appreciated.
Regards,
John.
Thanks Guys,
It's the fact that the date only shows 19 and not the full year that had me wondering if something was not right.
Regards,
John.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for heads up on these magazines.

John
