Thankyou for that....The "human" factor is easily forgotton sometimes. The number has always been a curiosity to me and now I think I have the best resolution to that question! I must say , when you hear it from folks with your background it seems almost obvious.. Best regards and thankyou
Mr. Laidler. PrinzEugen
Spitfireblue, the rifles I came into had been in stiore within the UK for many years prior to being disposed of, so I suspect any renumbering (correctly or with errors) was probably done whilst in UK service. Peter's comments would seem to back this up.
Best.
Thankyou Roger. If you dont mind my asking do you still build scope mounts?
Yep, I still sell the reproduction No32 brackets & am currently awaiting a small batch of Whitehead mounts for the SMLE/Winchester A5.
Best.
Many thanks! I will try to catch you at my next opertunity! Regards..
