1. What makes 43 LB special? Trick question.....
nothing really. Other than it was the first LB rifle I ever acquired back in 2007 and was given to me by a neighbor
whose Dad was BC Police, then joined RCAF Bomber Command as a tail gunner, then was seconded to Canadian Intelligence as an interagator for captured Snotzi's. ( whats green and says Heil hitler?….. a snotzi )
2. What makes 45lb special? Second trick question in a row....
Nothing other than it is pristine and has never been fired.
I like to think that one was recovered at the Bertchesgarten where Hitler had it hanging up to remind him of how stupid he was to pick on Canada.
3. What makes 42lb special? First semi legit question....
It's mag has been marked with the serial number. Now the sperts will say that mags were never matched with their rifles at the factory.....and you would be correct! This one came from Corwin Arms where they imported a bunch of guns from Belgium, and the Belgee's marked the gun and parkerized it.
4. What makes 49lb special?
First year of production for rifles made for Korean War. I need a 50LB, but they are common and I lack space to store them....unless I become single again
5. What make 44lb special?
It is a legit sniper. In fact, likely one of the few Canadian sniper rifles to tag snotzi's in WW2. Most of the rifles in 45 went into storage or were given to allies and then made their way back to Canada 50 year later.
6. What makes 41lb special?
Early LB with a brit wasp sight added. Had to do something to get it on list....
7. What makes 41lb special? This in an early gun, with early parts, including a LB marked wasp sight. Not many of those around...
Tally up your scores and be honest,... since this is easter.
Let me know whom won and I will send Laidler book if I can hobble down to post office without being arrested for not social distancing .
