If they are anything like our F88s they will be like Grandpa's axe.
Seven handles and two heads but still as good as the day it was bought.
To elaborate, we were licenced to build X number of rifles. After considerable service and consequent FTRs the only original part of the rifle was the serial number, unlike the SLRs that underwent the same procedure in Lithgowand finished up with the original number barred out and a new number applied. If someone could explain why this was done I would like to know.
Son may like to chime in here as I believe he worked on a very low number F88 that was a flat top.
Anyway, all bets are off now we have the F90.![]()
