Re: Whittaker Special out of it's stock

Guys,
I'd love to write these rifles up for Wikipedia if you can help with any background and good clear photos.

Re: Whittaker Special out of it's stock
It might sound awfully petty but I'm researching both the Whitaker Specials and Geoff Hart's conversion of a No.4, and would rather wait to have my research published in the HBSA Journal before sharing it.Watcher wrote:Guys,

Although I do agree it should be on Wikepedia.
PS,
P17 conversions exist from both Bert & Geoff as well!

Re: Whittaker Special out of it's stock
I have had one of Geoff's "Whitaker" No4 builds in the past, (it was given to me by a friendly RFD) I can dig out some pics for you if you like?Strangely Brown wrote:It might sound awfully petty but I'm researching both the Whitaker Specials and Geoff Hart's conversion of a No.4, and would rather wait to have my research published in the HBSA Journal before sharing it.Watcher wrote:Guys,

Sad thing is, it was originally a BSA No4T, AHHHH! shame really, but I suppose they were rebuilt when No4T's weren't worth that much.

Absolutely no problem with that. When you've published, and if you and the HBSA are happy, I'll convert it into a Wikipedia article.

Re: Whittaker Special out of it's stock
Mathew, any chance of the serial number of the Hart?
I just wonder if it's one I already have on my data base??

Re: Whittaker Special out of it's stock
Whittaker, Hart, John Knott? - others?
I dont know of anyone who has written up on the transition period of British shooting smiths from service to pure target rifles (late 40's through 50's?)
There are still people about who knew them.
Anyone researching?
I have some info on John Knott.

Re: Whittaker Special out of it's stock
John, I'm collecting information for an article on "Transitional" rifles after the NRA switched from 303 to 7.62mm.
