    The product that I normally use for chemical rust removal is phosphoric acid based. It does the job well but one has to follow the recommended safety precautions because it is an acid.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Simple...... It's the retainer for the return spring cup on the Mk5 or 6 (silenced) Sten. So the gun can be used without a butt. It doesn't have a pistol grip because you've already got one on the Mk5 and 6 guns. The little loop shown is used to attach the hook of the sten sling when used back to front - as you do on the silenced guns. Quite unusual. Didn't see many at all

    All should buy a good little book called The Sten Machine Carbine..........

    Well, well. Now that is interesting.

    I have a copy of said book (purchased for £39.95 from Foyles bookshop in London on 14 September 2000 - still have the receipt) and on page 265 it states:

    “The second type, known as the “plate, cover, 9mm Sten machine carbine, MK2”, part no B3/CR 152, was similar to the Mk1 pattern and was also fixed by means of a hole in abutment face and an under-hung lug. The MK2 plate was fitted with a small loop to which one could anchor the hook of the Mk3 Sten sling”.

    Is it the same thing?
