Hi ph3s,
Nice site thanks for putting it up,
Dave.

Thanks Ph3s
That looks the most promosing so far :-) I might just buy a G3 though until some tin pot nation decides to upgrade its rifles and hopefully floods the market. Dave, had a few AKs from Helstons and happy with the prices, but much as I would love and old spec, the divorce would cost me more loo.
Good point though, SLRs are very numerous but still doing good service so will be a while begore many are condemned to the gunsmiths welder, my generation was just too late to use them in service but still recollect stories from old boys fondly prefering it to its initially troubled replacement. I grew up on Falklands and NI stories so maybe thats why Ild like one. A friend recently used on one his pucca new job guarding merchant shipping, so, like the rifle it replaced, it will be around a while.
Cheers

Good to see that I'm not the only person hving problems getting their hands on a deact' SLR at a sensible price, I've been after one for ages, but I am trying to get hold of an old style deact!
Magazines, slings even bayonets I can get hold of at sensible prices, but an old style deact'....No chance!
Its easier to get my hands on the other two deacts that I would like to get, a GPMG and a Sterling SMG! (Thats if the wife will let me have them that is LOL)

Regards and good hunting, to all

I'm afraid a British SLR in Britain especially old-deact would never be at sensible price. I'm not even talking about one with matching No. as far as I know most of deacts are build up from scratches. Unless it's Soviet weapon from Ukrainian mil. warehouses
