William Evans One Piece Mount

[Simon]

Seeing those pictures of Rogers collection of WWI Snipers reminded me that I had some pics tucked away on a hard drive somewhere from a trip to the IWM many years ago. Anyway after a bit of digging here they are, hope you like them.

Cheers,

Simon.

Thanks Simon. I went down to see it with Dave T in the 1980's & digital cameras didn't exist then! I still have a few prints somewhere, but your photo's are the best I've seen of this particular rifle.

I've got some of two piece mount rifle in the NFC somewhere too, just can't recall where at the moment though.

Very nice.

I like it that they left a small cutout for the rear volley sight to stay in place . What material is it made of? It looks like aluminum or zinc.

[Roger Payne]

It's a long, long time since I handled it, but I'm pretty sure it's made from aluminium. Correct me if my memory is faulty, someone.

[Simon]

Correct Roger, cast and machined
Aluminium. Notice the extra i for the benefit of our American friends.
