16thBNCanScotJim Posted 23 March , 2022 Share Posted 23 March , 2022 Hello All, I am restoring a SMLE and I find he wire cutter attachment to be fascinating. My question; does anyone know if there are any companies or small businesses who have done working reproductions? I would very much like to add one to my rifle. Alternatively, does anyone have any schematic or have photos of one disassembled to its components? I have attached photos from (https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.historicalfirearms.info/post/54458499203/smle-wire-cutter-hundreds-of-thousands-of-miles/amp) Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypres tommy Posted 23 March , 2022 Share Posted 23 March , 2022 There was a company in the UK called Dug Up who made repro’s. Theres also these on eBay, they’re resin but look the part and relatively cheap. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wire-Cutter-for-Enfield-SMLE-bayo-display-stand-/193151623840?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peregrinvs Posted 23 March , 2022 Share Posted 23 March , 2022 Dug Up became The Military Man. They don’t do SMLE wire cutters unfortunately. https://themilitaryman.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolz Posted 23 March , 2022 Share Posted 23 March , 2022 Not sure if these are repro (they say they are 1917 dated, but they look too new to me). I've bought stuff off these people (in France) before and not been disappointed. https://aassniper98.com/fr/enfield-n-1-mk-iii/666-cisailles-coupe-barbele-1914-enfield.html They also do the classic grenade launcher: https://aassniper98.com/fr/enfield-n-1-mk-iii/6483-lance-grenade-fusil-enfield-n3-.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
