help identifying C1A1 scope mounts.

[Peter Laidler]

Was it a PILKINGTON commercial mount or RP/RANK PRECISION commercial mount KtK? I ask because I have seen the RP designation referred to as RANK-PILKINGTON. Not so - as they were totally different companies but both used Phillips and EEV electronics.

One other problem we had with our IIW covers was that firing the rifle would tear the little ears from the bottom rear of the cover. When this happened we would just snip them off if they were cracking and/or make good with a smooth file. I always wondered why the top covers had the little ears anyway. I mean….., it couldn't slide forwards or backwards so why bother with them?

Furlong won't stay here. He picked our brains, made a profit as a result, threw his teddy out of the pram* so here endeth the lesson. But I don't take offense. Never have and never will…..

* just been asked. PRAM = English term for baby carriage/baby buggy!
