#1mk111 cutaway canadian marked

[granite]

I saw a cutaway #1 today. Looks well done. Has c broad arrow on butt wrist and rt side as well as on receiver and barrel. Now I don't have pics but did Canada use these? Any idea on value?

Thanks for any advice.

Do you mean did we use the cutaways or the #1 Mk 3s?

[granite]

Did we have cutaways?

[Peter Laidler]

I would imagine that every Army in the world used cutaways as instructional models during the later part of basic or trade training. They were call skeletonised rifles.

I know we had the skeletonized FNs and the #4 skeletons exist. I should think #1s would be in existence too.

The full length No1 skeletonised rifles are quite scarce in Australia. I wonder if many were destroyed when they were no longer required.

[browningautorifle]

That's possible as we had to account for them the same as an active rifle, therefore storage space is a problem at times. Easier to dispose of than store.

Oddly enough, our Skeleton SLR was actually an FN FAL.

[browningautorifle]

Ours were correct as new FN C1 A1s. We fought to get them and then found the way we'd been doing things before worked almost better. We'd remove the spring from the gas piston and take off the body cover and have a second rifle stripped beside us...during the mechanism class...
