Hi Gents,

A follow up as promised. I heard back from William Evans and got a copy of the records (see attached).

Here is the details in the letter I got:

Dear Mr Shadbolt,

Thank you for your request for the history on William Evans gun no.6893.

From the index book I can tell you that the original gun order was for, Barrel, action, Filling in soft wood fpart. BSA. The gun was completed 11th January 1904, for Mr E.F. Hudson. Stocking, Sighting, Finishing, was completed on the 24th February 1904.

Sarg I think you were correct when you mentioned that they may have done more work than is usual, certainly the stocking of the rifle was no small task aside from the other work.

Not as much details as I would have liked but hey better than nothing at all.

Cheers, Roy.
