The 303 Rifle

[andybrennan]

Anyone remember when your fathers 303 was kept at home.
I have vivid memories of that weapon been kept in the house, my brother and I used to play cowboys and Indians in the house with it. We were able to strip and assemble it and were tasked eventually with cleaning same.

This would be about mid to late 1950'sand we would also dress up with webbing and helmet great auld times

Hi Andy.
Glad to hear back from you the musical part of the 303 is the outer band an old gag really the outer band is part of the rifle.Those housewifes kept quite and we never took them out.Not a lot anyway i wasn't a great hand at the needle work other than giving people the needle.
Cheers Anthony
