Why does my gun exist?

Enjoy your rifle... mine has yet to see any range time but I'm hoping to take it next week.

[A square 10]

the FAZ 'contract' mk2s were made for about 15 countries , all fell in the PF prefix ranges , quantities varried from 10 for hong kong , to 50000 for irish republic , judgeing by the small quantities of most they were going to police type forces ,

the POF mk2s seem to have been made in 1957,58,59,60
and it seems 40000 or so were made and seems they used a "C" prefix with 5 digits

Good stuff, thanks for the info. Still surprising my rifle may have been destined for the RAF though. I'd think they'd be more interested in Stens, Sterlings, and Brens.

If you've ever seen the state of weapon handling in the RAF you'd be truly frightened at the prospect of Airmen armed with SMGs! The rifle is a much safer bet for RAF personnel.
