Yes! I have in the list the indian Lee Enfield (Ishapore 2A1) chambered to 7.62x51. And I had resized the australian AIA M10, but I am not very convinced with that funcional replica.

Ishapore never made the No.4 they kept making No.IIIs, the 2A1 is basicly a Mk.III in 7.62 NATO

Yes, the indian rifle looks like the old SMLE Mk III (also based in an already done drawing by Darth Panda). I am remaking the bayonet, which is several inches shorter, and with a complex set of fuller lines, which goes well to the point of the blade. Cheers.

I very much look forward to seeing it then my friend

Good morning!
A spanish battle rifle, Cetme C. The predecesor of the much more known HK G3. First fielded in 1958, the C version is from 1964 and because the woodwork is known as "chopo" (a kind of tree) in Spain.

Credits: I try to mimic Darth Panda's solutions to the problems of shading and general details (from Darth Panda´s G3). If my drawing is "DP like", well, I think that the goal was attained! Thanks DP! Cheers.

PS: I found several kinds of flash hider, I prefered this one, with 3 holes in the side view and slightly longer than the G3 like one.

Nice work on the SMLE No.4, but it's not quite accurate. A lot of the details on the receiver and bolt are incorrect for instance. I actually drew the No.4 rifle in 2009 using my own example as the reference (a 1943 Fazackerly rifle):



Eventually I'll update the shading etc, but this would be a better place to start than trying to convert the SMLE No.1 to the No.4. There are a lot of small differences between the two that are not quite captured in your version.

Excellent drawing, Ian!

Good afternoon, guys.
Well, my last Lee Enfield (I am not very sure to complete the australian AIA M10), the Indian Ishapore 2A1.

Based almoste entirely in the already done drawing by Darth Panda which is excellent, only few retouches were made in the stock (it used a butt plate similar to the plate of the L1), the foresight, a more square-ish magazine for the NATO cartridge, and a shorter bayonet (made from a standard P1907 bayonet) with the 5 forward inches cutted down (and in that way, the fuller lines were up to de end of the blade). Cheers.

Heya guys!

My first post here and the first gun I am submitting here: An early Heckler & Koch G3 Rifle that is based on Darth Panda's excellent drawing which I retouch. The largest difference is the handguard which lacks a bipod but there are other retouches such as the muzzle device, the sights, the stock and the fencing on the magazine well.



Please do point out any mistakes as I am learning this. Also, keep up the great work here!

Good idea to depict the very early G3 ... You should do an almost black butt instead of the greenish later version.
