Congrats on a nice-looking BREN Mk I! Here's mine, same maker and year. Serial # P40XX - is yours far from this?

I have this rather crude M3, serial # 4539XX. Any idea when it was made?

I made this for my deactivated M1928A1

Annihilator,
I wish I knew, this is all the information I have. There's no broad arrow or British proofing visible, but the metal is quite worn at places.

A friend recently got this deactivated M1928A1, supposedly recovered from a lake in Austria. Part of the story is that it served with the British 1st Airborne (Red Devils).
Opinions, anyone? Production date?
Balder
Edit: Sorry about the picture orientation.

Which is older? I would guess the brass one which I also prefer in use. Please excuse the rather crappy picture quality, best I could do right now
Balder
Edit: There was supposed to be a picture here, of a brass handle magazine filler as well as the one discussed above. No direct picture upload to this site?
Edit 2: Trying Photobucket:

Happy belated birthday David - thanks for keeping this board in shape and good running order!

The serial number puts it right in the range of the early 1940 deliveries to the UK.

Gentlemen,
Thanks for all your input! The owner of the M1 has registered here and is awaiting approval from an admin. I'm sure he'll chime in when he's approved.

Thanks Andrew. This has supposedly been sitting unused in an Ukrainian arsenal since WW2. But Savage? I thought all Thompsons made by Savage had an "S" prefix to their serial numbers?

A friend just got this from the Ukraine. It is now deactivated, unfortunately. Any thoughts about production date and other details?

My S-245XX, British used, has the sight rivets in the white. The gun is original and I have no reason to believe that the rear sight has been tampered with or re-riveted.

Gentlemen,
A friend needs help with the wood on this one. What kind of oil/wax/whatever should he use on this sanded and original wood? The gun is mostly made up of a 1928 recently recovered from a lake here in Norway.

I like the butcher block look. What wood species is it?
Angus, thanks. I made it from leftover oak after I made new kitchen countertops.

I finally found the time to make a rather minimalistic stand for my deactivated Savage M1928A1.

Black River,
I can see those points with the felt/asbestos padded versions. But the plain canvas one can't really do much other than protect the jacket from scratches and dings.

Thanks for your inputs. I can't help wondering how effective such a cover would actually be in the roles you describe. But I guess I need to get one, regardless

Thanks, I'll check it out

Gentlemen,
I am the fortunate owner of a Vickers, but I've never really found out the purpose of the cover for the water jacket, as seen in several pictures. Protection from scratches and possible punctures in the jacket?

Roscoe,
A 1942 Lithgow in pretty good condition

Whatever happened to the Vickers forum? Too little activity? I miss it
Balder

Thanks for your inputs, I got another one on its way as well. Even though all of my three are made at Fazakerly, I guess beggars can't be choosers. An incorrect front sight is better than no front sight.

Two of my three Mk 2s are missing the front sight. Got this replacement but unsure if it's original. Anyone?

M3 production year?

Thanks for your inputs. JJX, I stated that it is an M3, not an M3A1.
You can barely see "Guide.." in the picture. I built this up around an old receiver and barrel, no idea about its origin.
