    Serial number

    Are you sure about the serial number?
    The number you gave is for a 1960's model but the stock seems to be from a later model?
    The reason the number IS important, is because the early models had a 13mm diopter rails and later ones had 11mm ones.
    Remove action from the stock to check the number as sometimes the first digit is not stamped on all parts .

    Your HW55T is made in 1980 andere has a 11mm rail.
    Best bet for a original diopter is Egun.de

    Hi splosh
    I have 2 hw diopters
    1 is fitted to my hw55. It is the wide 13mm fit
    The one for sale is a narrower fit.
    It probably is 11 mm and not 12mm as as I believe they only made them in 2sizes
    If you are interested, I will measure it and inform you of its exact size tomorrow.
    Up in Yorkshire at present
