    Here's a translation of post 5 for all of you who can't make any sense of it.
    When he bought the rifle he was told that it was manufactured by BSA
    1, the bolt s/n doesn't match the receiver s/n
    2, case life is short. As he understands it, according to what he's read here, it's a common thing.
    3,when he shoots the rifle the cases split
    4,theres no markings on the rifle to indicate who the manufacturer was and he'd like to know why. Adds that it has lots of numbers
    Next he expresses his thanks for the welcome he received in posts 2 and 3.
    He finishes up by saying he has lots of #4's, a Savage, a LB, A '43 FAZ that was FTR'd in '54 and a couple of the mummy wrapped Irish contract rifles, one of which he has removed the wrap from, cause he had too. And finally he says thanks. End of translation...............
