    More finds from the British army dump

    Hi all

    Just sharing some more finds from the Britishicon army dump site myself and my group have been digging. The landowner is a great guy and understands why we ask to dig on his land, despite the fact he thinks most of it is rusty crap!

    These represent some of the more unusual finds from the dump site, along with some items we're sick of the sights of.........like the Sten parts, of which there are literally hundreds strewn throughout the dump site.

    Of interest are the 303 inspection rounds and 30cal drill. Vickers muzzle booster.... Vickers tripod elevation wheel...... trigger gauges. ...... barrel brushes...... Vickers barrel protector..... PIAT rear sights...... PIAT sears and triggers (pic with the red background) .... BESA trigger...... BESA 15mm ammo boxes...... Browning Mk 1 water chests ........ Butt plates from numerous rifles...... Remains of stocks from Mk 5 Sten .... Mk 1 Sten stock and flash hider ...... Sten trigger covers...... Lee-Enfield water bottles......

    The list goes on and on.

    Hope you like the finds.
