| Well I can see that some changes were obviously made from the time this film was made. In my estimation I think giving up the FN was a bad decision. You want stopping power and this weapon had it in ace's.
What grabs me a bit is to see the battle dress (Woolen) in 54, we were to wear in the Cdn. Forces until 1969. | |

https://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/new-rifles-for-the-army/zjg4y9q Hi all, Interesting; but after my time, would have been good to use. How much lighter than the old 303; also easier to use, not as long and heavy Passed to the WO; perhaps the officer had not handled one before Comments, the old battle dress was good, maybe better than synthetic fabrics Good health in 2020 Sapper | |

| The 1954 film shows one error. After stripping the rifle it is not “ready to fire once again” as told, simply after putting in the magazine. You need to bring a cartridge into the barrel by open and close the chamber. | |
