    Which model of SSP was tested here James?

    A one off?

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    I believe it was an early one off prototype he had made to develop valving. Short stroke, simple open and close scissor type sidelever. Not one of the later long stroke compound lever 12 ft/lbs rifles.

    it was certainly consistent
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
