I have a Canadian manufactured adjustable Sten sling. Unlike British slings the Canadian sling had a D ring in place of the oval shaped ring. I noticed that when I tried to install the sling on my...

Using the information from this forum and other related sites, specifically a No. 6 BA screw, as well as taking one of my scabbard screws with me, stopping at a number of local hardware stores here...

While I was attaching string tags to my Enfield bayonets a couple days ago I noticed that one of my No. 4 scabbards was missing the two screws that hold the throat to the body. Is there a source for...

I have a 1942 dated No. 4 MK 1* produced by Long Branch that I would like to restore to operational condition. One issue I have is that the safety assembly is missing. In doing a bit of research on...

Welcome.

Best cure I can think of is marriage!!:rofl:

Oh Oh, the wife saw this, gotta go.

Marco, tell us more about the rear sight.

Am I the first?

For what it's worth, the estimated number of buried Spitfires has been revised to 140. Here's another article on the discovery:

I'd also like to that Peter, and you too Bigduke6, for all of your comments and help not just on this thread but the entire forum.

Peter, you may remember a short time ago when I posted photos of...

I recently purchased a Pattern 1907 bayonet manufactered by Lithgow in 1943. The press stud or locking bolt in the pommel will not move, most likely frozen in position due to oxidation.

My...

Bigduke6, is the blade on your repaired bayonet typical of what the blade should look like; top inch or so painted with the remaining portion having the dark gray phosphate coloration?

Somebody had too many sharp pointy things! :D

Should also add that the seller has 3 of these available. No where does he state they might be reproduction. Passing off fakes as real? You be the judge.

It's exactly like the used repro I bought two weeks ago for $35, nice looking grips, deeply blued metal and a scabbard without the throat.

Currently listed on e-Bay, I'm thinking these are reproductions. What's you take?

Peter, you may be the right person to ask this question; how was the fit of the No. 5 bayonet on the flash suppressor & bayonet lug? Was the bayonet snug or was there play in it when mounted to the...

Peter, I for one have tried BBQ paint on of all things my BBQ. Several years ago I resurected our 30 year old Webber grill and applied several coats of this high temp paint. The grill now looks like...

bigduke6, you are a true craftsman and I applaud your skills and offer my thanks for posting this thread. I restore vintage English 3 speed bycycles and had a similar issue withh a missing lug on the...

Mag Fed,

Never did see the photo you were going to send me. Caree to post it here?

Peter, one last question. As far as paint, what is the preferred color, just a flat black, or did the British military have a specific color specification, much like the US military does for...

Peter, as they say on this side of the pond, "You're the man!" I like the suggestion of taking it to a local engraving shop. Was there an army regulation dictating the character height for the...

Well Peter, that is certainly something to consider, however cost would definitely be a concern. I would image that this is something that BDL Ltd could handle. If this was to be done, would it be...

Perhaps we need to start a No. 5 registry on this forum. Any takers?
