I went to a meeting about that play between the upper and lower TMH on the L85's Skippy.......... You get up and say your piece to these shooting team managers, as respectfully as you can (as they're all old long serving Majors who carried a lot of clout!!!!!), and they STILL don't really understand that even if the TMH was almost falling off it wouldn't affect the accuracy! What they really meant was that the shooting team MANAGERS wanted a solid as a rock feeling of firmness in the rifle so that the shooters couldn't use the looseness as a poor excuse for crap shooting!

33CW is 33 Central Workshops at Newark in Nottinghamshire. That's why I couldn't relate 33 COMMAND workshop to anything! It was a largeish workshop principally for the big vehicle depot at nearby Ruddington. No small arms facility there (nor at the other close by optronics/electronics workshop at Old Dalby) but the workshop facility most probably made the plates subject to this thread. And the punch was the standard PUNCH, flat.
Just goes to show that however long you've been at it, there's always something that you didn't know before. Thanks all concerned and S/Sgt Geordie XXXX for this bit of input, we can all pad out our knowlege base a bit more
