    Thank you for posting this,I have not seen one before.
    Were the split pins for an earlier liner system?
    The rear one looks factory installed and crying out for a purpose.

    Very nice indeed. It looks totally mint.
    I have been looking for one of these for years but have yet to see one in "real life". You obviously knew where to look so If you have knowledge of where I might find one I would love to hear.

    I believe the liner is the same as the later M56 but with different mounting pads between the liner and shell?

    I think this is in the wrong section of the forum though and should really be here;

    Thanks for showing this one and I would really like to know if you see another for sale!

    Regards
