Vickers Information - Great Source Found

Maybe this is all old news to you guys that have Vickers stashed away, but I'm just getting my feet wet on the Vickers and was searching out resources. In doing so I found a site in the UK that has a wealth of information on these guns. The really great part is the library of reference manuals that the guy has scanned and posted as pdf files for downloads....wow.

Golly, I thought everyone knew about that place. I just downloaded some more of their manuals just a few days ago. I believe, and I might be wrong, but I believe that I had posted that site quite a few years ago on this forum, but it sure does not hurt to repost these sites once in a while.
It is a terrific site.

I kind of figured the guys that had vickers would know about it.

But for the "Vicker Newbies" out there like myself, it maybe a new resource to them as it was for me.

What seems to be the going price for a good Vickers dial site with case? Does anyone know of any available? Thanks!

As we used to say back in the Vietnam days, "buku." I have a Director No. 9 that I would consider trading for a dial sight.

RE Vickers Accessories

These folks in the UK have a good assortment of Vickers stuff.
I purchased a Bren mag filler from them awhile back, good to do
business with...
