Lithgow SMLE Failed Field Headspace Gauge

[Peter Laidler]

Wise words there Brian......., VERY wise words. People won't believe me that during our apprenticeships, under the eagle eye of Stan Ayley, who passed on recently, we spent months learning the insides out of bolt fitting and all of the other stuff associated with the No4, 5 and 8. If only I realised that I could have just ignored him and swopped things around willy-nilly. It'd have made life so much easier. Especially when it came to Bren and L4 guns under the even more eagle-eye'd ogre Harry Weeks
