Brian is dead right there. While the rifles were in service, you can take it from me that we didn't search through boxes and boxes of parts to sort out a special manufacturer! If a No4T needed a replacement cocking piece, then it got whatever came out of the box next. Likewise, with a backsight. Next one out of the box, chop the battle sight aperture off then out on the range the next week with the sniper and loads of ammo to range test it!
The old time Armourers look aghast when I tell them that the collecting fraternity search high and low to the Nth degree for the correct parts by manufacturer and yearInformation
