An Armourer's Perspective: .303 No. 4 (T) Sniper Rifle and the H&H Connection

[CINDERS]

Still Peter it would not be a bad thing to say have an appendix version with the information that was forgone in yours and Ian's first go as I would certainly buy it to accompany Vol 1
I do not profess boundless fonts of knowledge on 303's and shy away from people at the range who know it all and their weapon matches their yap and won't group worth a frozen maggot on a Christmas cake but what I do have a healthy respect for;
A) A persons hard won experience in an oft frustrating trade as I am sure there were mongrel 303's that defied all the written laws and just would not behave real rogues and these stories need to be told as there may be a lesson there somewhere.
B) People who honestly help others with generosity of their hard won experiences in weaponry.

I have a healthy respect for the 303's and got the passion from my uncle when I was about 11-12 who had a cut down and scoped Lee Metford just the noise and the size of those rounds it certainly flattened the roo's he shot for our consumption.
My Uncle often recounted when we were around a camp fire on those cold summer nights we get in the wheat belt how he did not follow the course of fire and discharged the 303 grenade launcher from the shoulder whether it was true or false I did not care he was my uncle and did serve but not over seas.
But one thing I do know he was a shearer and started shearing when he was 15 y/o and finally stopped when he was 80 y/o I used to roust about for him and pen up anyone who can do that job for 65 years has got to be respected and he got plenty of that from me.

Anway I got lost yes Peter an additional book would be good.........
