    And then there was two....

    I visited a well known UKicon Milsurps Gunsmith yesterday and after a bit of looking, he came up with this!

    Its been in his position a very long time indeed.....

    This one lacks its mount, B.L 63, mine is B.L 33.

    Its looking very much like a limited trails batch, the question is, of how many, logic dictates 100 examples, seems like a sensible number considering the tooling up costs of such an endeavour.

    Or perhaps even though 100 was the original number there were substantially les actually produced? Stopped short because of a change of mind...? Then they usually try to corral them all for destruction too.
