    With costs skyrocketing and fakes showing up, perhaps it's becoming time for someone to resurrect the No.32 with a high quality reproduction, just as Criterion has made barrels and Roger Payneicon has made scope brackets for our Enfields. Parts should be interchangeable with the originals, then the repro parts could be used with originals that are broken and need repair. If Wayne in Taiwan (waynemachine@mky.com) can make these for Numrich or Sarco, why can't someone in the US or Canadaicon or UKicon make them to MoD standards today?

    As I understand it some original parts are subject not to be a direct fit from one scope to another.

    If the technology still exists it would probably be cost prohibitive, and it would still be a repro.
