You wont believe what I found out! I wuz talkin to a guy I've known since I was knee high to a grass-hopper today.His name is Dennis.He restores WW II vehicles.He's bin @ that fer years.Got a couple of barns full of 'em.Anyway-he just revealed to me that he has a chest(wooden shipping chest) full of Longbranch Enfields!!!(8 in the chest) Unissued-still in packing grease!!When he opened that chest & I saw them - I swear-I couldn't breathe!!
He wont sell them (he's funny that way!) In fact-I'll bet I'm just about the only person he's told! I still cant believe how I felt when I saw that! On another note-I was talkin to an old friend last night-Harry.He's a retired machinist.He was telling me that durin the war he worked for British Electric here in town.As many companies did-they recieved a contract to make gun parts for the war effort.He ended up making parts for the Inglis Bren gun.(Someone had mentioned that very make earlier here, in the forum) He told me that Inglis wanted to make a name for themselves-so they ordered Brit.Elec to cut the tolerances IN HALF, on the parts.He said it went fine until she'd heat up -then she would sieze solid!(Says it didn't make a very good club-either!)Evidently this problem became apparent in the dessert campaign. Anyone know anything bout this? He says they got an urgent messge to loosen tolerances up-so they did. Hoadie |

Hoadie, Yes I asked him if his employer was going belly up and he told me no, "that they were moving production to Japan". Cookie Monster
