Thanks to former Armourer ‘Robbie’ Robertson who was able to shed light on this. Robbie also commented that ‘………….. we did about 250 of the rifles in 1967 or so but I don’t ever remember seeing any of the actual cups since Korea in the early 50’s. I don’t think we had any!’

Huh, maybe they retained some, or my source is wrong. I guess it's also possible they were making line throwing rifles, although I find that possiblity unlikely. It's also possible they were just drawn out of front line service in 1947. Looks like they must have kept some though.
