All:
When did 1899As short rifles with 22 inch barrels come with a TD feature? Murray says 1917 I think but the longer 26 inch 1899As were available with the TD in 1909, and again, according to Murray. I had my hands on an 1899A short rifle with a 1910 serial number with a TD feature and in beautiful condition. All numbers match. Would a letter help or were the length of the barrels not given?
I know I have seen them in 303 around the same period, and with a TD feature. So this isn’t the only one. Anyone else have or seen one??
God bless,
RAS
