Am looking for all parts except the breech ring.

PM me if you have anything for sale - or know anyone with any parts.

Thanks

Tim

I do have a breech handle - broken by the army or someone years ago and badly welded back together, so am in the market for another one.

Not got it yet - but it is in the UK now!

There was another for sale - which assuming the new owner can get the export licence (not demilled) will go to Belgium.

The other two... dont know... they are also both Ex-British Army.

Cheers

Tim

I also need a Breech Block.

Or... to find a company here in the UK who can make me a new one - I have a pattern.
