2. Sold out of service mark - this is present on the barrel knox form (see photos I posted earlier) as well as on the right side of the buttsocket. In my limited, nay miniscule, knowledge base, I would have thought that this would indicate some form of military service, such as use by a military shooting club. This rifle did end up at the Army Rifle Association in 1969. Would there be other reasons why a "sold out of service" mark would be present?
1. This would have been done at some stage after the rifle was received by the ARA, there is a distance of about 100 yards between the ARA armoury and Fultons!

2. I think this surprises me a bit, I thought the custom of sold out of service marks had finished by the early 1970's...........anyone?
