Hi Paolo,

I've got a few copies of the telescope booklet available but "Armourer's Perspective" is out of print and I no longer stock it. You may be able to obtain a copy from http://www.skennerton.com but they are at a much increased price.

Thank you and please, let me know how me can manage the purchase of the booklet. Take count that I have a US shipping address and can pay with mastercard or Paypal.
I will email to Mr. skennerton.

Hello.
Here are some close up pics.
I decided to remove the black paint here and there...in fact I will remove all the paint...you will see how ridicolous it is the spraying job.
Please take a look to the pics and to the following new questions:
1-is the so heavy punched serial the original one? The surface under the bolt serial shows grinding job and also underneath the socket serial you can see other digits traces.
2-in the low portion of the socket now is evident a "T"....maybe what remains of the "TR"?
3-the wood parts you see is what I found after the disassembly...also the copper bands. Because of the Isha screw, the not correct type of the forestock, the mispunched, not matched and cracked rear bridge in the buttstock,....I am considering to change all wood parts with genuine old ones...at least not abused, with the exception of the 2 upper handguard parts...What do you think?
4-the simple lettering of the rings with single "E" and "F" letters instead of the 3 digits...is it correct anyway?
5-What about the mount pads?....for sure removed in the past more then one time..
6-What do you think on barrel and receiver ring marks?

Thank you.
Paolo
