    Jig? Seriously? Naw, they employed the one armed serial striker from Maltby.
    I've got a similarity marked Long Branch that went through FTR, and they totally botched the serial number transfer. They swapped them around mightily. Makes book keeping a chore!

    I must say I've never seen a renumbered bolt head. That's a new one.

    Mk1/3

    The one I have is a Long Branch with all marking scrubbed, but with the proper Mk 1/3 designation. Haven’t seen too many of these, so thanks for posting.

    Yes, a new one on me as well.
