a new Lithgow

I will admit 5th, I had a bit of a quiet smile when I read that, in a way it's good not having to put up with that rubbish, but a pity that it is being diseminated at all.
Come to think of it, he used to proudly spruik about his English heritage, so us Australasian cousins can't really be held responsible for the misinformation.(we will just throw it back onto PL.):madsmile:

English decent & married to a kiwi chick (i believe) so i dont hold Australians responsible, i blame the French :)

You guys want a real laugh, google his handle and you'll find he's got tens of thousands of posts on dozens of forums from musical instruments to wood carving. photography lots of firearms forums... you might even find where he has been banned from two, and that he only had a licence and a Lee Enfield ten minutes before he became god of the FES :lol:

If you wiki "armchair expert", you'll probably find his pic :runaway:

You will also find that his father was Jesus... TRUE! He was... which would make God his grandfather!

& Then 3 minutes later i had my first "run-in" with him & me with only many years of experience at the time, man! do i feel like a fool :(

Eta, still cant believe they sacrificed about 100 years of combined knowledge/experience for just on 5 years worth, they were told but would not listen, their loss, i see the forum is lucky to have a dozen active threads a week these days.

I open it up when I want to sleep... I find the sounds of the crickets very soothing :rofl:

They give me the impression of a bunch of teenagers, but not as mature.

And he's at it again, this time with pongo.

I dont know the rarity of 1930s dated Lithgows vs the others but in my years of collecting i have seen more '30s dated Lithgows than any other, this is only what i have personally seen & it may well be the other way round for some but it would seem to me, even though '30s Lithgows are rare they seem common compared to other makers, same applies to 1920s dated SMLEs bar the MkVs.

He said,

"If it is a 1937 lithgow No1 MkIII then yes it's a rare find. If not, then it will be standard production for one of the other factories."

What's standard production?

Pongos comments further on seem completely legitimate to me.
