Re-reading my comments above, could make it sound as if I am being less than complimentary about Rogers brackets. I hope it doesn't sound like that. We batch tested the material and it was identical (within the bouds of mixability!) as the original material, as specified. And I meant that the current Indian Sarco brackets look too good............

Peter, these are cast steel -- though I am assured that functionally they should be fine & are not at all brittle. I just couldn't find anywhere that does white heart or black heart malleable cast iron. Previously I had a little company in Walsall do them for me, but they've since gone the way of flesh, so NG helped out by asking a supplier for his company to quote for us.
The machining has been done by the company I always used for the first few batches of brackets in the 1990's, before the late Mr Smith did the last couple of production runs for me.

No doubt they'll be perfect. Can we try one on the slave L42 at the test range for a month? I'll report back!

Peter,
Of course. Am off to Belgium for a militaria show in a few hours (Remember the one?), but am back Sunday evening. I'll arrange to send one down next week.

Over the last two or three years there have been a few very patient people waiting for me to get these done; I have kept a note of their email addresses & will be offering them a bracket at a beneficial price to thank them for their patience & loyalty. Watch this space!
ATB to all.
waiting with great anticipation Dr. Payne
cheers,
