.22 RF Trainers with a question and lots of pics

Of the 100 or so N9s sold off by the NZDF back in 2008 none that i noticed were made from No4 Mk2s & i was looking to fill 2 gaps in my collection with the one rifle.

So in your experience, the Mk 1 is the predominant type? Good to know.

I was really surprized at the auction, i had read up on them before going, even re-read after just to make sure, just as a extra bit of info, there was also one converted from a Mk1* cant remember if it was a Savage or Long Branch.

All of the ones I've seen including mine have been conversions of straight No.4Mk.1 service rifles.

Good day all. Just thought I’d post a few photos of a few new trainers that have come to live with me. Ive posted them in the Sept. purchases thread as well. I think a few MKL entries may be in order (what do you think Badger?)
First up is a No7Mk1. All matching numbers with it’s magazine!

This is on the butt stock. Anyone have any ideas who or what it could be? I asked Peter who wasn’t sure but surmised:

Very nice! Not an easy one to acquire.
