The Ferrets seem to be everlasting. Awesome engine it had.

The photo looks staged, shoes [not boots] empty, etc. Barrel wouldn't peel open like that - I think. Provenance of happening vague. Warning to be careful and safe. Urban legend...?

Certainly looks like a repair any competent woodworker could easily make. When you don't have a store full of spares you make do.

Must be a reason few military rifles have such a rough surface. Catches on clothing, slow to change position, extra cost to manufacture. Target shooting doesn't necessarily translate to combat...

The days when handwriting with pen an ink was an accepted skill and not calligraphy.

Stuff coming loose from the mantlet.

Right side of the action has been scrubbed? 303 barrel, 1942 vintage? Correct extractor?

They've been seriously dumped and stored in heaps if I read the nicks, dents and gauges correctly.

Would have been a U with the arrow inside for the Union of SA.

For the short stock, a slip on boot works excellently to lengthen the stock without any alterations. Works well.

Total up the added stuff, subtract from price. Should give you the price for the gun alone. Reconsider then.

Matching age, condition, grain, wood, etc would be difficult. However, if you want to shoot it, use a loose boot over the butt to lengthen the butt. Easy on and off and doesn't change anything,...

True. The Brits had the same challenge with the 276 cartridge.

Old tanks have few alternatives. Sold for scrap. Sold to friendly countries. Given to friendly countries. Use as real tank and anti tank targets. Donated as monuments or trophies. Donated to...

Looks just about unfired.

Would definitely be worth the effort.

The high chamber pressure and velocity tells me the cartridge is quietly going to be downloaded in its life. Sooner or later, probably sooner than later. But I've been wrong before.

Please excuse me if I'm not overawed by a 'gasp', 'new' military cartridge. Paging through 'Cartridges of the World' you will probably find similar cartridges either in production or was in...

Seems the Brits had it right when they went the 7mm way before WWI and after WWII. The new cartridge looks like it could be the 7mm-08.

Awesome wood!

True.

I offer the following reasons. Economy of scale. A long process to demilitarise the police. Uniform approach to law enforcement. Uniform accountability. Etc.

I would love to know more about this. The South African Police requirement for something like this would have been bizarre as it was very much still a 'paramilitary' police service at that time,...

Doesn't make sense standing tall with a telescope if you are sneaking around busy with reconnaissance.

Military always taught one-handed classic Olympic style handgun shooting. You will see it changing from the eighties to two handed IPSC style.



Yes, but just about always. The norm in...

Now that would be interesting to know, tell more please.

Sounds like something Jeff Cooper would have said.
