    They might want to, but would have no legal basis to do so. If the weapons bear the proper Proof House marks and the owner can show good title, the Police are bound in law to return the property. The only fly in the ointment is if Insurance has paid out on them. Title would then repose with the Insurance company.l

    Her Majesty's Royal Navy's reply was 'Eat more to make it fit', or 'Go on a ***diet then!' If anything did fit off the peg, you worried like hell you'd become deformed! :-D

    Is also recorded as fitted to machine guns. Initially a whole range of telscopic sights were fitted to various American rifles, including what are described as 'Copies of German sights'. The US Marines, as usual went their own way from the Army. Checking the name of the manufactrer thay still are involved in optics.

    It looks more like the sight off a Springfeild sniper rifle. Unfortunatley I have lent the book with the details to someone. Don't recognise manufacturer though.

    I did a fair bit of hunting about on this subject some while back and came up nadar! I did hear a story that following the election of a Labour (or in US eyes Communist !) goverment post war the US were unwilling to supply parts. The British Army did use Dodges during the Korean War and in India, which passed to Indian forces on Independence and in Malaya.

    A friend of mine loaded his van with a lot of commercial wood working machinery. Including a tin box of damm great router wheels. On the way home the wheels rattled in the tin and got on his nerves so he took them out that night when he got home. Following day he was stopped for suspected overweight and taken to bridge. The vehicle was about 16 kgs underweight. Guess what the tin weighed?
