Enfield Newbie

[Peter Laidler]

I mentioned before that when I was in Australia, we had Cadet Force rifles that came through our workshops as part of the usual turnover of military kit and these were bog standard No1's and Brens, with coloured paint but not marked DP. Can any of you RAEME Armourers look up in the old EMEI's to see what came first, red or yellow paint. I have a feeling that it was yellow but this was gradually changed to red because yellow became the standardised colour for blank firing attachments and barrels.

It will have been a 'B' class mod or instruction on a do-it-when-they-pass-through the parent workshop basis.

Got any old EMEI's in the tech library Son? Might they still have them at Bandiana?
