#1mk111 cutaway canadian marked

Very nice rifle Homer.

[Warren]

Yes, Canada had cutaways. Here is a nice No.1 Mk. III* and Canadian marked as to ownership and conversion to cutaway.

And one for browningautorifle,
Plus a No.4 and my favourite SMLE cutaway.

Here's mine.

Nice cutaways both of you. I was waiting for you Warren, I was sure you'd have a handle on this. Thing is, your cutaway's a C1 isn't it? I thought ours were C1A1s...maybe not though. Have you seen FN C1 A1 cutaways? Anyone for that matter?

[Lance]

Here is a C1A1 cutaway, do not think it is original, but it is pretty, plus a MLM cutaway to add to the mix

[granite]

Same as yours Warren. Any idea on value? I see some for about $400 - at least at the most expensive store in the country (for #4 cutaways). Just trying to pick this thing up.

[browningautorifle]

Thanks Lance, I thought we had C1A1s. I don't think they were 8L series though. I was sure they were early. By the way, I should think a cutaway for $400 would be a pretty good deal.

Who would convert the rifles skeletonised versions The factory or the army?

[browningautorifle]

Peter gave us a detail about that some time ago, apparently the majority were done as a "Test" for apprentice armorers. I have a hard time with that as I know far to many of our armorers and they're not exactly like that. I'm thinking at least the FNs I spoke of were done an C.A.L.
