For me Mk1No4, NoIVMkI and Mk4No1 drive me crazy.
I will however accept SMLE MkIII and No1MkIII interchangeably as long as your rifle was made before 1926 when nomenclature changed.
Me too!:thup:Quote:

Forced matched.
As in "the serial numbers were forced matched when the rifle was rearsenaled".
So what would be a better term than the above?Quote:

Rearsenaled is just silly. A rifle was never arsenaled in the first place.
"Re-arsenaled"-Unless it went through the arsenal overhaul more than once! (Beyond the usual local level stuff.) Who's got a rifle w/ multiple "FTR" markings?
I've got one that does, can barely read the first one, but it IS there. I should post pics sometime. I got it from SOG a while back, paid extra for a specific year and maker. They gave me what I asked for, but man, it is rough. So I can't complain too bad! It won't fire a round; bolt is messed up. Was going to send it back but got hooked on all the hieroglyphics on the receiver.
