Fortunately for y'all, RJW NZicon made some good photos of a distressed SMLE Mk.III* fore stock (Post #20), otherwise...

There's no escape, however, as warned- here's a little more:


No.4 Savage rear swivel assembly that's come adrift. Not a major crisis, but probably annoying if it occurred in the field.


Another cocking piece- uncleaned this time, but not as filthy as the others. Failed in "stages" on TWO roughly parallel planes which were joined by the fracture in the center.

Will try for some more shots of this one if anyone's interested.

Have yet to root through the old barrel pile!
