    What are the rifle and scope serial numbers on the case? I have rifle OC3695 with MK 1 Scope 7615. I am curious to see how close the serial number is to my rifle.

    I appreciate all the responses. It sounds as if there are about 10 matching TP rifles in private hands and about the same number of non-matching rifles with original components. I have a hard time...

    I understand that. The question is WHY was it designated suitable for emergency use only other than the fact that P-14s were not regular issue rifles? However, since P-14 rifles also had problems...
