robin craig Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Looking at various early in service pictures there were not covers fitted. Were they developed later on and then issued? Does anyone have a couple of used ones for sale? Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 covers weren't issued initially as the Barrel Trough was fitted with the solid part to the top. This was discovered to cause barrel distortion due to heat build up after firing, so the trough was reversed and a cover issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
