You're also lacking the Parker-Hale .22 conversion of the Pattern 1914 rifle. But I guess that one is hard to get, I'm unable to find one since years now.

Hi on the right side of the action of the pattern 14 MKI is A J PARKER AND Westley Richards.
Would anyone know what regiment is on the butt disc thanks.

Could it be 4th Royal Munster Fusiliers?

The irony about these little RAF .22" No7 rifles is that they were still inservice with the RAF Cadet Forces, in both the ATC and the public school RAF Cadets until well into the 80's - albeit that spare parts were non existant from RAF Ordnance stocks which as I seem to recall, all came from Stafford somewhere. The Armourers shops would occasionally reduce one to salvage just for the spare parts. But to be honest I NEVER saw one that would even remotely conform to the No8 EMER regarding CHS which was just as well because like the No8, there were 8 (or was it six for the No7 rifle.....) sizes of bolthead. Mind you, they just didn't wear out
