RFI Refurbished No. 5

[villiers]

Thanks for the interesting posting.


Could you post some further information on the "Ishy screw" in the fore-end?
Is it just a wood screw, or a bolt secured on the other side?

Does the fore-end cap have TWO rivets (one through the sides and the other underneath the barrel)?
Doesn´t the one through the sides collide with the barrel?

And is the bayonet Indian?

You are being redundant, redundant, redundant or do you have a peach inspediment caused by drain bamage.

The "Ishy screw" is a brass colored wood screw with a head approximately 3/8" in diameter. The screw passes through the stock to the right side where the protruding sharp point has been filed away almost flush with the surface of the stock.

The fore-end cap has ONE brass colored rivet on the bottom of the nose cap as shown in the photo.

The bayonet is RFI (Indian). I purchased it from IMA sometime after I acquired the No.5.
