I already have a 1966 dated 2A1 rifle that i had to restock with a SMLE stock due to a very large split in the butt stock.

Ticket is definitely going in for variation in January!

Probably not, so it's a moot point...

But after seeing that Mauser 'tanker' a long term project would be to take it back to 257 Roberts, 7x57 or something different, add a detachable box mag (G43, BAR or similar), iron sights, shorten/thread the barrel and so.

Edit - It's a mongrel anyway! lol
