A peculiar thought has occurred me, (one that doesn't need censoring either,lol), about these early front sight guards on the trials no4's. The one on mine is marked SM 41 like many others we see pics of.
What sort of shape were these trials rifles in when they were brought back into service that their original front guard was not on them, and hence needed a 1941 made model? Were they a pile of incomplete barrel/actions/bolts and little else, or ... Have there been any anecdotes about the process from someone who'd been there ?
