"T" things that shouldn't exist

[Peter Laidler]

If you change something on a rifle, there's no need to mark the rifle. There is no hatching on the foresights or foresight blocks. But these foresights and blocks and foresights are a LOOOOOOONG and convoluted saga of varying heights and formats and........ and........... I wrote it all up a few years ago. If anyone is interested, mjaybe one of the computer literate forumers can resurrrect it all!

There is no need to mark any change or modification that is plainly visible as a rule. See Bayonet thread for reason and recent history

As snipoer rifles were really a one-man-dog, they were not taken away from a unit/sniper lightly so they were pretty much totally repairable at unit level. Much like the L42 and later L96. The exception is barrel changes.

Sadly I'm probably going to have to change the barrel of this one and certainly going to have to replace the forend as its warped and twisted to boot.

They looked good when they were new, I still preferred the brass though.

They work fine but will crack/break with rough use. The brass buttplates were pretty much indestructible.
