Just curious- any idea why your dealer said not to shoot it?

PROOFED ACTION ASSEMBLY. the matching numbers located at the right rear of the receiver and under the bolt handle, stamped when the parts were mated and before completion of the rifle.
Homer, you have not added that one to the survey.

Guess it was a legacy from the previous owner prior to the gun dealer buying it, just to be honest I do not have any issues not shooting it as I have other 303 workhorses to take down the range to cut paper or drop camels & donkey's so why mess with something that is unique to me plus the barrel is mint and was fitted 9 '21 why would I want to wear it out and turning it into just another early MkIII Lithgow
.
I am pretty passionate about keeping my word the gun dealer was a friend who I made a pact with, when I visited him we kicked back him with his bottle of port (one of the conditions of the visit I supplied it usually 18 year old stuff)and me with gentleman jacks and spent many many hours talking guns he had a fabulous Luger collection and a broom-handle mauser pistol as well, ordnance from wall to wall I miss him he was old school, bit like my armourer friend who set up the guns on Rottnest island during the war he has now gone as well none left here now.........
Muffett I think Homer has this one tagged we discussed this piece a fair while ago as it does not have the parked finish but more blue I have no idea of its past save for what I have just said if it could speak we would all learn why it has the blue tinge as there is not FTR stampings on it or the stock butt.
