    You have them in the correct order for the adoption of metric rifles but you don’t have metric rifles
    Incorrect, the first production "inch" rifles were the Canadian C1 Rifle, on the outside it looked 'Metric' but was made to the 'inch' specifications. In fact the Canadian's where the lead on the conversion of metric to inch Specifications, They also deconstructed the FAL rifle and simplified many of the FAL production methods. These conversions/alterations were overseen by the Rifle Steering Committee (Canadaicon, Britain, US, FN, then Australiaicon Joined and the US left). The C1 was introduced into service in 1956. 'Inch' Tool Room Models date to 1955.

    T48 rifles made by H&S (500 Rifles utilizing advanced Canadian C1 Tool Room Model Plans) and High Standard (had to convert the Metric plans and specifications into American specifications and produce 12 Rifles to show their plans where workable all this for trials that happened in 1955.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I never made it out to Hannah for a full auto shoot but there was an old boy in Abbottsford who'd let me shoot his live MG42 upon occasion. It had a cyclic rate of $600 per minute.
