I have one I suspect isn't indian. No rfi markings or much black paint (there may be a few specs, I don't remember well). It is also a matching cup and base for what that's worth. Paid a premium for...

Also started this thread elsewhere, don't think anything came of it though.
No news that I'm aware of. Found and bought a grenade cup and clamp both marked with an "M", but I doubt it's Metro gas co. Heard somewhere that the single letter marks were a WWII thing. It also has...
I have always seen them refered to as drill uniforms, although I am no expert. He also had a picture of his great uncle in combat his uniform in the same post.

Just got permission from the poster, here is the photo in question.

If you want I could email it to you, I just don't feel comfortable posting it until I get word back from the page owner.
If I'm not mistaken I see a cai import mark in the second photo.
Saw a photo that reminded me of this thread and figured I'd share. It's this second slide of the second most recent post on this profile. Normally I would link the photo, but because it is of the...
Yes. Cup launches for the no 4 were introduced in 1942. They were designated Discharger No. 3 Mk I. 10,600 were made by Wembley Tool co. and British Vacuum Cleaners.
Thanks, means alot. I'm not too stressed about it, but Corona has just become one more thing to deal with. On the positive side I have plenty of time to deal with it and everything, aside from SATs,...
One can only hope he'll abide by their decision. I've already lost my most important season of spring track to Corona, If I lose my senior year too it will seriously hurt my chances of running in...
I am 90% sure I have heard of BAR night sights if that's any help. I remember seeing a sold listing on some website not too long ago. Can't recall what they looked like and can't find the listing,...
No luck with attaching the images on my phone. This link should work though Lithgow 1914 bayonet Turkish conversion - Album on Imgur

From my phone.
I have a question I'd like to have cleared up about a bayonet I purchased a few months back. It is, as stated in the title a 1914 P'07 bayonet made at Lithgow, that somehow ended up in Turkish hands...
Which part is marked with RIA/RFI, the base or the cup? Also pictures would help a lot.
Impressive build, great use of an otherwise un-restorable action. Always found the Canadian lightweight no 4s to be fascinating.
I remember the smaller packets paper packages of 10(?) cartridges being sold at gun shows before the shut down, believe the guy had a few cases of the stuff, and seem to remember multiple vendors...
Looks like the seller guessed it or got it right in the description. I believe he did say something along those lines although I remember he wasn't sure and threw a few ideas out there. Also I was...
I remember trying to compare it to all the conversions I was familiar with and coming up empty, although it does most remind me of the howell rifle. I remember it selling for what seemed to be a...
I remember that rifle, have some screen shots of it somewhere. I thought it was some kind of semi auto at the time because of the safety catch thing that seems like it was done up to prevent the...
Always loved the hand made rifles, wish I'd picked up one when the "demilled" ones were $70 at numrich.
Beautifully done
It was bubba, shame too as besides all the "custom work" it looks like a very nice rifle.
