Milsurp After Hours

Excellent. I lucked upon a 10/44 one in 2000, then the bayonet. Confess I still haven't fired it.

I believe it is a different wood used for the later stocks Robert.

very nice rifle [s] and your bayonet is a nice one made at "poole" , "P"in the circle




".........The No.5 began life as the ‘No.4 lightened rifle’ Development began in mid to late 1943. Production ended in 1946 officially although 1947 marked examples have been seen. ........"


i hope to shout - Faz continued production till 10/47 , thats what mine is -


my bayo is also a '46 poole

Here is my No5 that I picked up this year.

Nice rifles mates. I'd really like the lighter stock, but the price out here nowdays precludes the luxury of a second No5.
ASquare,
do your spikes run the gamut of MkI, MkII, MkII* & MkIII ? Having seen some of your other stuff I suspect I already know the answer

yes , they do , its a foible
