Hi Peter, many many thanks, it's good news on the lower receiver, I really wanted a Brit pattern rifle, (misspent youth spent carrying one). It does seem to confirm that this was a parts tie cobbled together or even a set made up from leftover parts. The barrel is Canadianicon marked 308 sporter, the gas block is unlike anything I have seen before and the wood is Aussie. I have bought a new furniture set from Silver Crescent Industries and a barrel from Colorado guns to go with Mr Century receiver for compliance reasons, maybe I should just build up the rest with Brit pattern parts and sell on the rest? I already bought a new Brit flash hider and a new Brit pattern gas block 'in the white', a compliance trigger, sear and hammer set and compliant gas piston, Any advice on what I have already bought would be great.
For barrel assembly who would you recommend? In Utah I seem to have very little choice, I have a contact in NM, Croc? Any views?
PS I already own two Mosin Nagant inc one Sniper and one Lee Enfield from the latest batch of 'mummy wrapped new /old stock. All get shot, anything else would be dishonorable to the men who built or carried them in the past (in my humble view)
Many thanks for your help, Mike
