So about 2000 then?

Canadian Gunnutz member Airborn 69 has a long running thread requesting conversion numbers. To date members have submitted numbers ranging from #016 through #1953.
You may need to be a member to view the thread here:

To date and to the best of my knowledge no one has posted a conversion number higher than 2000.

Probably, as the Canadian government ordered all of the military conversions to be destroyed.

The 200-250 rifles from the Canadian Army shooting team, the so called "Factory Specials" with glass bedding, P-H sights and drilled for P-H scope bases weren't all destroyed. I have conversion sn. 1440 and I know of a few more out there in the hands of collectors. Maybe Bill Wylde will chime in. He's forgotten more about them than I know. You out there Bill?
