	What the blazes is "Brit think"? For several years I worked for a company out of England, for us damn "Yanks" we didn't "think" like they did. Not nearly as structured and refined, got harassed,verbally abused and even threatened - until I made the comment once that we'd kicked their butts 200 years before and we'd do it again on this soil if need be. They liked our revenue generated so they allowed me free reign, ignoring their "Brit Think" and I'm told they blamed me for some of the "Damn Yank" ideas they still use - today. Greg

	Landis’ book on .22 rifle shooting indicates that a serious smallbore shooter using the Lesmok and Semi-Smokeless target ammunition of the day would wear out his gilt-edged barrel from the necessary cleaning in a half-dozen seasons or so. I would not be surprised to see a liner in such a target rifle, or, for that matter, modifications to the stock. People used the things their hard-earned money purchased the way they wanted to use them, back in the Good Old Days. No “Safe Queens” or “Investments” in the gun line back then.

	Don't remember where I read this so here goes. Story was that folks liked the A.J Parker or Parker Hale liners for their accuracy. So it wasn't uncommon for someone with a new 22rf target rifle to send it in to have the new barrel relined. FWIW. By the same token I knew a gunsmith that did a land office business rebarreling center fire rifles. Folks would send in a brand new rifle after testing it and found the accuracy wanting. I've got a brand new Remington Sendero barrel in 308 sitting on my shelves. I could never get the same accuracy from my Sendero in 308 that I can easily get from a 30-06. Go figure. Frank

	I think Waterman was being facetious in quoting what a typical Brit would think about an American manufactured .22 as they ruled the world at that time. May have been a lend-lease rifle.

The wheely bins are used to put the empty tinnies in and then we wheel them to the footpath for collection by the garbo's.

	Hi I have #48, which was on loan to the Museum at the NRA Ranges at Bisley for 20 years, until the Chief Exec told the Curator that the Museum owned NOTHING and that everything there could be sold and the funds would go into the general funds of the NRA. My view is that there were (possibly) 50 made -- - but they were FAR too costly for the parsimonious Brits -- at £5 guineas (about $25 at the time) they were twice as expensicve as the best BSA Martini .22 target rifle. I know that there is one in Savage's place in Westfield, MA but I have only seen one other --- cut down into a sporter because (at the time) it was "some old Martini .22". I wonder what it would fetch if I got it to the USA ? (Apologies for my lousy 2-finger typing)
