Yep, that's certainly the case now but back then they were so plentiful. I was pissed at the time because he wanted to take up target shooting and hounded me to sell it. My rifle although only a 2 groover was very accurate. Next time I saw it it was for sale in the local gunshop, all cut down.
One of my fullbore club members bid for and bought a sizable portion of the remaining army stock of No 4's. My eyes just about popped out of my head when I saw them. Cases (wooden) and cases of rifles. I forget how many to the case. Would be worth a fortune now if trickled into the market.
