Re: AIAW Price?
You should be careful of what people claim. It might have been a limited edition for the Swedish build and I will know tomorrow. If it is there would be markings on the action and there are no photos showing these markings. I think that there would also have been a certificate showing that is was in fact a limited edition of the Swedish rifles.
The listing reads "malcolm cooper.....the founder and legendary Sniper marksman, Malcolm Cooper,..." Malcolm Cooper was never a sniper, he was a target shooter and a good one but never a sniper. The company is now under new management with two of the founders who designed the rifle in question. Malcolm Cooper never designed any of the rifles. We have better equipment now and a much better process for building rifles so it is incorrect to state that the old AI produced better quality rifles then the new AI.
I will post the history of AW Serial 1448 when I find out tomorrow.
