i have this gun (type 56) in excellent conditions, the accuracy is very good and built quality is flawless
 
I think we can safely assume that majority of them were manufactured at Ishapore
Yes for your side. On our side, these were manufactured in Pretoria from 1930s onwards; but earliers came from Uk. Mine was built in Pretoria.

Here they were taken out of service in the 50s and replaced with R1/FNs; later R4s/Galils then became the standard bearer.

For Ishapore; they were still using the No2/3 design but switched to 7.62x51 a good move to standardise on the round. Still for what we use .303 for is more a ceremonial rifle and a general purpose hunting rifle.

Anyway, back to normal thread, I digressed.
