With thanks to Advisory Panel members Lance and Wheaty, we've added a new entry to the Australia - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here) ( http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37)

A rare 1944 No.1 Intermediate Shortened & Lightened Rifle - Serial XP53 "Experimental" (click here) ..... (http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=3562)

This is one of only 100 rifles manufactured in Australia during 1944 for Army trials.

There's an interesting associated thread in our Commercial Auction and Sale "Gossip" (click here) (http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38) forum titled Reference Thread - Australian Arms Auctions - May 4th, 2008 (click here) (http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=3304).

This thread contains a post regarding one of these rifles (Serial XP45) that just sold at the Australian Arms Auctions on May 4th, 2008 for $7,000 AUSD.
