    I was meaning it ironically! After all, the rifles were common enough and little-wanted enough when this sort of thing went on.

    Fultons gave the chop to many a fine rifle the owner wanted converted to 7.62mm. Sad, but of course they had no choice really.

    I suspect I've become a bit "touchy" about defending Bert's Whitaker Specials!

    Roger,
    Should you come across something that you suspect might once have been a Whitaker I have all the original serial numbers for Bert's conversations, it would be useful to put any of them on my register.
