Sixgun Sheridan 4,248 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Imagine the flamethrower flash on that. I suspect it's a weapon that was cut down by an insurgent somewhere to get the drop on one of his colonial rulers. Link to post Share on other sites
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 3,325 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Brings to mind that old idea "JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING, IT SOMETIMES SHOULD NOT BE DONE." Link to post Share on other sites
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 2,069 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Saw something similar done to a Mosin-Nagant, attributed to an insurgent, so I have to agree with Sixgun Sheridan! Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Bullweed 449 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 It looks like the mag cutoff is intact. Those very old Cordite rounds would be 'flashy'. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, in Lahore, Mombasa or Aswan. There's GOT to be a story behind it, I'm not sure that I want all of the details, though. Link to post Share on other sites

They did away with the mag cut off in the early war variants of the No.1MkIII. By the time the No1MkIII☆ was introduced, it was gone. Link to post Share on other sites

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 7,032 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 About calling upon miners.... when the Soviet Union wanted Metro systems for Moscow and Saint Petersburg, miners were brought from everywhere in the country and when they needed miners to dig a tunnel under Chernobyl reactor #4 , miners were again brought in from around the country.
