Early pic of a Canadian box.

Hi mate, there are two different types from what I can find out, the english version differs from the australian version, mainly how the vice is mounted. I only have a list of tools from about 1953...

Hi Henry, yep the cost, well way to much. I am still missing a few bits and they seem to be the hardest ones to find so they to will be a lot of these$$$$$$.

The pics are old ones taken some time...

Hi again Roy, here is a couple of pics of the vice in use. Not the armourers tool kit where the Bren repair is occurring, has a hand operated grinding wheel attached to one leg.

The third pics is...

Hi Roy here is a couple of pics, sorry for the vice colour but this is how I found it. It is a Dawn 4 inch.

Hi, from my research on Australian Armourers Field Repair Kits, we had the 4 inch Dawn vice fitted. There are several WW2 pictures with this vice been used. The 4 inch is the correct vice to fit into...

I also have one the same. I have been told that the "NOT FOR BALL" was marked when taken off front line units and issued to the Cadet Corp and to conform this the C arrow arrow C is the markings for...

Can you post a picture of the commercial magazine????

Hi, I have a couple of variants in H rifles and this one looks very nice. Most people dont realize the significance of these and they get looked over.
Cheers

Hi mate, I have a few ports still maturing (or should I say fermenting) in the bottles. I managed to score a class port bottle at a local antique store the other year, still not happy that i never...

Hi, I still have my stable belt, it would be lucky to fit around the top of one of my legs nowdays. I think that when wearing Battle Dress, corp lanyard and the stable belt was the best looking...

If you look hard, you can see some tools as well which is a bit of a guide.

Hi Nigel, sorry for the pics, I forgot that the English version was different to the Aust one.

Hi mate, from the pictures I proportioned to the gun and its use, so i just guessed in the end. The height will be so as the gun when held a vice by the butt and the forewood would rest, pretty much...

Hi mate, from all of the pictures that I have found on the net, which is not many, they all seem a little different in timber size. I believe that most may have been manufactured inhouse as they...

I paid $2000 for mine and it has a very tight mint bore. Possibly a bit much, but i did not have one at the time.

Hi Peter, got me thinking and looking at the tool a bit harder and I think I have worked it out. I pushed the tool hard up into the end of the fore wood first. On the face of the block on the...

Here are some pics on how it fits.

Thanks :super: Mike1967, I have tried out your theory and it fits perfectly. At a guess, this would change the fore wood from horizontal plane to the vertical plane, possibly for when repairing the...

That happens. I will have ask a person that had seen the box when it was first sold out of a gun sporting store many many years ago and see if it was stenciled back then. If not, somebody has stuffed...

Thanks, yes there are doubles and some not true correct to the period, but i had to put them somewhere. For example I have 3 other Lewis broken case extractor tools, all having different markings,...

I am not sure, was told possibly WW2 from the guy I got it off. I will take a pic with a scale next and post.
