It's possible I may have missed a thread about this somewhere in the listings, but due to a project I'm currently working on I am very curious about the choice of Sniper rifles in the Australianicon armed services.

Condensing this as much as possible, the Lithgow HT No1 Mk3* supplanted, then replaced the P14 Sniper variant at the end of WW2. I also believe the P14 was declared obsolete in 1946. I'm certain somebody somewhere would know about official or trials testing between the two rifles to see which one was more suitable ( or accurate etc), and why was the SMLE chosen?

I've got more questions on this subject, but that is probably enough for an opener...
