having watched a vast selection of the HS briefings and instructions and read RAs at events....... I'd agree.

So even if you're borrowing, it's worth getting to grips with a weapon sooner rather than later.

egyptian blanks leave your gun the cleanest you could imagine ---- they rarely work. i clean my gun after its been used... oddly i think all 3 of us are black powder muzzle loaders, haven't you even noticed that the enfields are so much easier to clean? :lol: was going to tell craig his first purcha...

if you like it and can afford it ... its up to you. but from what I know about you .... you are a perfectionist. if it has a load of SAP markings its not going to pass a close inspection for WW1 british. but its a question if you can find an affordable example with the right markings.... or one that...

i self load but mine's a .410.... but .303 blank is available from many places but not as cheap as it used to be. simply look at the date on the gun (most post WW! ones will be MK111* anyway, you really need a MKIII although a MKIII* is ok for anything past 1915, but having the right looking guns ge...

another option would be to find out if any existing traders are looking for investment......

might be one or two who have the potential for trebling their turnover/profits if they had some investment and / or another pair of hands selling stuff at different events

cheap tat that costs about the same as a pint or a sandwich but doesn't have much profit margin?

[free entry to markets and charge for the carparking / buses then/quote] Would in an ideal world be an answer. However, free entry to the market and only paying for the bus, would indeed pay for the buses but would not pay the substantial amount of money needed to put the market on. thats why sugge...

I also had the callenge of explaining that the SK did not have anything to do with the Napoleonic period, but that officer from L&B has now moved on. I also had to do a shotgun course, despite being around firearms, running ranges and teaching shooting with a variety of calibres. I had not used a s...

But as you know without membership of a full bore target rifle club the police are unlikely to give FAC holders any access to live ammunition........ Some forces positively dislike people using the same gun for live and reenactment it took a while to 'educate' my local firearms officer. If you do s...

they didn't change the designation to NO1 MKIII etc till 1926 though so if you are doing WW1 it wouldn't just be a MKIII or MK III* and anything that has been through India will have the "ISHAPORE SCREW" - its details like that. I have a friend who has a denix and they've changed the fore end for a ...

thats a MK III* in 1915.

not a mk 3 , 3 had the cut off.

the 1960's Ishapore SMLE is similar to the WW1 version no it isn't one is .303, the other 7.62 and the magazine is a completely different shape because of that. it certainly wouldn't have a magazine cut off either lastly the cocking piece changes shape from a round to a slab. all the ww2 reenactors...
