Sunken treasure

My grandfather came home after WWII to Vancouver Island and worked for awhile after doing some demilitarization work on Van Isle and on the mainland. He told me of many boats/barges being floated out into the ocean full of various guns and truckloads of .303 ammo to be disposed of "overboard". Too much stuff was coming home and they had nowhere to store it. Probably some mountains of Enfields and Brens etc rotting away down there.

Well I guess if somebody knew how long it would take for sea termites to eat a greasy, hardwood stock-to the bone, we'd know!

Don't look down the barrel, there's probably a voracious moray eel lurking in there waiting to pounce...:eek:

Anyone notice the handguard appears too long?

I know too much about these rifles, I had a really good look at mine. The mid band has been moved back about 1". The top handguard is stock length with the front edge bevelled. The metal piece is still there underneath the handguard.
