pitfighter Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I thought I'd pick up one of IMA's $12 canvas action covers, went on great, as I removed it the canvas just gave away around the stud, and it pulled a "perfect circle" out of the dried-material, shame, I've since fixed it enough for display, but it's toast. I took some photos, I hope you might like - prior to it's demise, lol.

Mine was a $12 dollar item, so its was irritating at worst, I'm sure yours was considerably more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitfighter Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Very cool collection!Thanks - the knives are quite cool, too, in my opinion. The canvas action cover I have discovered is British, so it doesn't really work for this display, I definitely don't recommend these the canvas is really brittle.

Mk VII Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 That's the trouble with old canvas, Enfield action covers are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtyround Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Watch that "undetermined origin" material, prior posts of reproduction materials, mags pouches etc. have been known to rust the hell out of your gear. Keep your cool stuff oiled down ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
