    Hi Gil.
    I often read most of the Parker Hale post....especially if you are involved. I have wanted a C3 Canadianicon Sniper for many years but are impossible to find. So I acquired the next best thing. I recently picked up a C3 Clone or so (I think). It looks pretty close......but I'm sure the serial numbers will tell of its origin . On the breach is stamped BNP (with some kind of insignia above) and serial #18093 C

    Could you just check again the serial number as they should be preceded by a 0 four numbers and then C ie 02129C
    Thanks
