Never trust an officer with a map they told me. One of the first things I did when embarking on a military career, if indeed that is what it was, involved learning how to read a map, and do it well. As an infantryman a map is a vital tool, used properly it can save time, effort and lives, and assist you in getting your job done.
The map itself isn't everything, and you need a reliable compass (or multiples thereof), and a protractor helps too.
My first issue G1098 Prismatic Mk III took some getting used to but was a great piece of kit. It was looking for information on how to refurbish this item that drew me to this site, and an excellent posting by Capt. Peter Laidler, a member here and formerly senior Armourer in the Small Arms School Corps. Duly impressed with Peter's entry I have signed up to learn more and things are looking good.

Hello all, Just started browsing. Not a collector - yet.
Retired from the CF 25 years total which includes a few years PRes with NSASKR out of Prince Albert SK, 7 Years with 2 PPCLI in Winnipeg and Germany, 7 Years as CRS Tech in Comox BC, then I took FRP. Got involved with the Cadet Program for about 10 years as well.

Just snooping right now.

I was searching the net for a part for the lower band on a Carcano M38. Specifically, the nut which holds the swivel in place. I found a 02-03-15 post by Bear Tracks about buying one on ebay from a seller called allibaba34.

I was hoping to be able to contact this person and thought maybe Bear Tracks could help.

Thank you all.
