My article on takedown No.5 Mk1 rifles is in the August issue of Man at Arms magazine
The article covers development of three versions of the takedown rifle and the grenade launching No. 5 Mk2.

Very nice indeed. When I get a patent on my removable butt stock design I'll post it for comparison. No I'm not joking; just 80 years late!

I never really understood all this need for folding or take-down 'para' this that and the other. That's what the containers are for - and carry! You might as well open up your container and retrieve your shoulder arms as sit there screwing your rifle together........... And you've STILL got to get to your container to get the rest of your big kit! Based on nothing more than having been a coerced paratrooper

I am sure "Man at Arms" would appreciate it if you bought the magazine.

It's a very good publication. Well worth subscribing to.

Apart from the tactical considerations, it's not surprising these were never adopted. A bit too long in the rain and the wood would swell in the tubular socket and you'd never get it out. In fact with enough moisture the socket might even have been deformed or split, as the force of wood swelling with water is most impressive.
Can't see what the attachment of the first one is like: could we see some photos of it disassembled please?

Man at Arms is the only magazine I subscribe to. I read each issue front to back.
I saw your interesting article a while back.
Thanks for the article and thanks for posting.
