Seek Musgrave RSA target rifle serial number to date of manufacture correlation data

[Frederick303]

hallo, my naam is Frederick van die VSA, ek vra vooraf om verskoning vir my arme Boeretaal, maar ek hoop julle kan almal help. Ek is geïnteresseerd in die Musgrave RSA teiken geweer, wat skaars hier in die VSA, veral die reeks nommer reekse. Ek het 'n paar data wat ek versamel het, meestal op uitgevoerde gewere en hoop mense hier kan die spasies invul op die data wat ek het, veral in die kern van die datum van vervaardiging met die reeksnommerreeks.

In my native Englander-praat in case the above is a total mess of translation:

hello, my name is Frederick from USA, I apologize in advance for my poor Boer language, but I hope you all can help. I am interested in the Musgrave RSA target rifle, which is rare here in the US, most particularly the serial number ranges. I have some data I collected, mostly on exported rifles and am hoping folks here could fill in the blanks on the data I have, most particularly in corelating the date of manufacturer with the serial number range.

If folks care to correspond I would share what data I have for folks expertise.

have 3 of the rifles, a Type 2 circa 1973, Type 3 1974 Palma rifle and a rebuilt Type 2 with 700 mm 1-14" twist Schultze & Larsen barrel, which were very popular in the UK in the late 1970s. That is my mid range rifle. Fine engineering.

Respectfully

Frederick
