    Calling all Aussies, Kiwis & Brits...

    Any of you blokes seen or heard of an Australianicon Contact No. 4 receiver sight (with a PH aperture). It was mounted by a Kiwi Armorer on an interesting Britishicon No. I Mk III with a Lithgow heavy barrel. It was shot at Bisley by a Kiwi doctoral student for the honor of London University in 1952 & 53. I will have some pictures of this interesting piece coming within the week. If this boyo could talk...well, in fact, the young doctoral student who shot it at Bisley and earned a "half purple ribbon" still owns it. He's 83. Story to follow, too.
