    Gil,

    Thank you. If I may, what does the part after “1971” mean?

    Best,
    Trog

    69/671 is the building extension on site 671 at Donnington which if you have ever been there will know it is a vast MOD storage facility, which stores from nuts and bolts to Challenger tanks!

    I don’t know much useful info, but I’m definitely going to post photos of the rifle.

    Thanks again. This is a really valuable service.
