(240 picture virtual tour)
Observations:
Note: Pics of rifle provided courtesy of MILSURPS.COM member ~Angel~.


Check for "all matching" serial numbers underneath the forestock, on the nose cap, rear sight, receiver, barrel and bolt handle. The rifle shown in the virtual tour is correctly serial number matched and in addition, is equipped with the correct Winchester (5 power) offset telescope marked with the "British Broad Arrow" and inspector's stamps, indicating acceptance for military service. Also shown is the original A5 scope case, also correctly marked with the "British Broad Arrow" and inspector's stamps. These conversions were carried out by Whitehead Bros. company and they did a total of 907 rifles.
