IIRC correctly a number of Lewis guns came from Nepal a few years ago.

They may well be refurbished - that's just a guess.

lewis Guns - IMA/FPI

Yes you are right - some 'hundreds' of Nepalese lewis were brought back and many found there way into dealer stock. Some 2000 drums were also brought back and now thay cannot be sold!!! Overall a great find but of course it makes the MG accessory hunt rather more difficult!!
Do you have a lewis ?

Hi Mark!

Why would the drums not be able to be sold???

I think I got like 9 of mine from the Nepal lot, they are in great shape!

I've got a BSA Lewis gun and shoot heck out of it, it's a ton of fun to shoot. Do you have one?
