Mick, nice to see you back in action. I have an option to buy an as-new Whittaker that is an ex-club gun (which the club never used!). It is stocked up in a lovely piece of walnut & looks as tight as a drum. As much as I regard a 'transitional' rifle of this type as a good rifle ruined, I was forced to admit it looked rather appealing! I will see if I can get the serial number for you even if I don't buy it....

Roger.
With Bert only building 117 of them and the vast majority probably now split for Ebay parts I reckon they are worth saving; although only worth a pittance today fully assembled!
Thanks Roger, if the serial number is avaliable I will post all I have on it on the forum.

Thanks Mick, regarding the transformation and the conversion of rifles, managed to save this P17 (M1917 to our American friends) a few months back, it come with a John Wilkes sight, this is going back to a P17 some day as the ears are still present and the rest of the action hole free.
Maybe its my love for old Milsurps but I,m sure the original walnut stock even cut down would of looked and fitted a million times better.
