Anyway, I see the C67 rifle at the S.I.M. has the front ring cap on backwards.

Not sure what the problem may be. I just tested uploading function, which hasn't changed in 7 years... and it seems to be fine for me.
Anyway, if you want to email me the content to badger@milsurps.com, I'll post it for you.
Regards,
Doug

Got the photos up with imageshack (what a crap site it is too) so if you want to add them in some other way Doug feel free, thanks.

Surpmil: Does your rifle have the high comb buttstock or been switched to a normal No4 (T) butt with screw on cheekrest?
Any chance of a few more pics?

Holy crap!!! I guess that's conclusive evidence that these rifles were used in WWII. First I've heard of it.

The pic is a still taken from a period propaganda film. I've seen the clip used in a number of documentaries and it's always associated with the D Day landings, which I guess ties in nicely as far as dates for the rifles introduction and the Canadian involvement in the Battle go

Thank God for propaganda, as that picture was disturbing! If it was not propaganda they likely loved that gun like no other as we do. Likely afraid to shoot it, for fear it hurt the value. LOL

Either that, or those are the hardest looking "re-enactors" I've ever seen.

To be honest, and it is rather grainy I agree but that looks distinctly like a front ray shade with a different colour of material/brass(?) on the first 2" of the telecope tube. Note the 1" or so gap between the rear of the ray shade and the turret. Looks like a Mk1 or 2 to me on that basis
