Enfields *MORE PICS*

[gunplumberr]

going thru some old pics from africa and thought I'd throw up this one
The cut down one is a Long Branch...the fella that owned it had it slung under his armpit, no mag...1 round up the spout

here's another one

some M1 garands,M1 carbine,BM59..afew different beretta subguns(M38,38/42's)..you can see the tail end of a PIAT peeking out in the left hand of the pic among other things

 

[smgcon]

Nice BM59 lower left. I also like the M1 Garand home made light weight rifle a couple above :lol:

 

[Calum]

The cut down Enfield...AKA a Kyber pass Pistol...or so I've been told. :mrgreen:
That would be some sick recoil. :shock:
BTW Why where these Rifle laying on the ground like that?

 

[gunplumberr]

laying out because they are all captured weapons.......and yes a very nice BM59 smgcon..it ran really well...have a pic of Myself shooting it full auto with the stock folding and a full mag of trace in it.......way too much fun

 

[Calum]

Damn...that means they prob' got hacked up...What a terrible waste. :roll:

 

[gunplumberr]

nope still sitting rotting away in Petewawa as far as I know..we brought them all back to Pet....I was suppose to go grab some for the base museum..but ...the dark cloud was over the CF and Petewawa at the time.....so they stayed put over in supply

Oh well

I like the driveshaft in between all the mortar tubes at the top

Is it a restricted driveshaft or prohibited?

 

[gunplumberr]

that was a base plug for a homemade mortar.......I didn't try it out to see it it worked out :lol: :lol:

That p-14 probably came from German East Africa(tanzania), im guessing, as the Brits were fighting ol' von Lettow Vorbeck there. Seriously though, im sure war torn empoverished countries could make TONS of money by selling old military weapons. Who knows what had been destroyed Umm, btw, are those pipes on the right old cannons?

 

[cziprick]

Where in Africa were these firearms captured? Gwelo, Harare, Bulawayo?

 

[gunplumberr]

Somalia back in 93

 

[Calum]

Hmm then maybe an Inuit Ranger might get one for Xmass from his Sarge. :mrgreen:

I tell yah I'd love about a week to push a big shopping cart around in the surpluss Rifle stores section of Petewawa. Methinks a cash strapped Military could make some good coin if they opened some booths at Gunshows accross Canada :mrgreen:

 

[Gibbs505]

SAD! :!:

 

[Claven2]

SAD! :!:

How so? Those arms probably have ALOt more history and honest use on them than ANY Enfield I own. Everything eventually wears out...

Hell, they made almost as many No.4's as they;ve made AK-47's :shock: Some are bound to not end up in Canadian collections... :lol:

 

[Greenfields]

Anymore pics? Thanks for sharing


Cheers

Interesting to see No4s with butt marking discs.

I understand many African park rangers are still running around with LEs while the poachers are all armed with AKs. No contest there.

Yap, interesting to see the #4s have brass disc on their stocks.

 

[Calum]

Don't worry those African Park Rangers are damn good shots, and in the end that is more important then ammo capacity or rate of fire. :twisted:

 

[Klunk]

Well...I had a look around and found some OLD pics of stuff I couldnt bring home neither

Check this junk out
