long branch sniper ?

[Peter Laidler]

Further to Surpmil's Q on thread 107. The H&H line supervisor wasn't sent to correct a rifle problem per-se, he was sent over to get the rifle conversion PROGRAMME up and running from piecemeal bit-part production to a full production line as at H&H using the experience, tricks and shortcuts learned/gained at H&H. Out inspection was a job for the Out inspectors.

I have only noticed a few Canadian No4T's and a few more L42's in UK service and have to say that I didn't notice any poor workmanship.

Added later: Now that I think about it, if any of the rifles from H&H or LB had been below the required standard, then they would simple have been rejected outright by the Govt inspector or any other inspector/examiner further down the food chain. It really is as simple as that!
