Is that good or bad news.......? Would they have sold them to the public or destroyed them?
Gives me a warm feeling still seeing them in service. 303 or 308?

They're in .303. They will never be sold to the public. They'll all get the chop...

It's hard to know if this is just typical bureaucratic bumbling or the stage being set for Colt Canada (Diemaco) to make new No4s for the Rangers.

Hopefully the latter.
