Default Hi Darryl, welcome too.

Nice to see another LP2 in NZ. I hope you keep those Aussie markings on it, to show the cooperation between NZ and OZ in producing them.

I'm sure Lynn will be interested in seeing that aerial bracket!

Hi Rob,

Thanks for that. I can assure you it will remain an aussie carrier.

Is this the bracket Lynn?



Cheers

Darryl

Default plastic replica

Check out this site. For $130 you can get a full size plastic replica.
http://www.foxflier.com/lewis/
In Canada these "non-guns" are prohibited. I think I'll take a stripped Lee Enfield
and dress it up with this plastic stuff and have a legal Lewis look-alike. If I do I'll make a Lewis style butt stock and pistol grip so it won't break. The Enfield action would still be under the plastic so it might be possible to have it firing too. Just a thought.
It'd sure look good on my Motley mount.

Gidday,

Yes, I had a look at that site. I just wasn't sure about how the plastic finish would look. The pictures look okay. For that price though it is almost worth getting one to look at. I could always use it as a template if nothing else.

More food for thought.

Thanks.
