Still alive and have not had any major health problems, just the aches and pains of age, etc.
Still doing the odd 32 scope but other issues have kept me just way busy and I've not been able to have any spare time keep up with any forums.
To those who have requested info, I think I have sent most of it privately and thanks for your patience. I'll try to answer your requests as best I can and in a timely manner.
I still have over 8 thousand plates of fiche to examine and there is some good stuff there, including the No.4 (T) trials as well as the early sniper modifications and the Canadianlight weight sniper. I have the hand written reports on the Canadian Light Weight sniper rifle with the No. 67 (Mk. 4 scope). I personally rather doubted their official status until that time as I had examined two and stripped one down. My opinion, at that time, was the Cdn Lightweights were made by an amourer for someone of rank to shoot bambi.
However, as I only have access to one digital fiche reader that will enhance the poor quality of the plates enough to make it legible, it is all a matter of having the time.
