Wood furniture solid wood and laminated date of use

[Peter Laidler]

I sdaw my first laminated furniture in Malaya in 1967/8 on both British and Australian rifles. We were supplied with spares from pooled Ordnance in Singapore and our rifles were a mix and match - you were iissued with whatever was next in the rack whether it was an Aust or UK made rifle. Thyen you kept it forever. First saw plastic in the UK in the very late 70's as I recall
