Davejb Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 There,s some real oddities among that displays, I,ve never seen a Cutts compensator on the muzzle of a Sten before???. That M35 is a nice one but that decal looks very "new"?. I remember reading somewhere that Fleshettes were also packed into air burst shells as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo shows the standard issue "Cutts Compensator" used on 1928A1's made by Savage and Auto Ordnance.

Field Marshall Lenny Posted May 13, 2016 Author Field Marshall Share Posted May 13, 2016 I was about to ask about the compensator. Apart from that, repro stick grenade... and the tag on the Mills, never seen one of these on a Mills??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Well on the Mills it does say remove before firing, so it can only be for the cup discharger plus the base plate is there as well, so I would think it was a common practise to have these fitted at one time, and perhaps later the idea was scrapped, either way that is a rarity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
