The C3a1 serial number range is very helpful. The couple sn's I've got recorded are within this series.

I'm still trying to pin down the Parker Hale order for the Canadian DND C3's. C Law's book states trials out to Jun 1974. Further states trial was done with a 1200TX stacked up against a Winchester G7041, Carl Gustav CG63 ,L42A1 and FNC1A1 with various scopes and night vision combinations. Would have been great if C Law quoted his source. The nagging question is a) when was the order placed to Parker Hale b) when were these built c) delivered? The earliest spec sheet I have is 1975.
