I notice it's marked "C & B". Any clues as to what that could stand for?

One possibility is Collings and Bradey of Wellington NZ. Din Collings was a long time highly regarded gunsmith and fullbore shooter.

actually that seems about right.
the marking on the adjusters are pretty self explanatory.[and not what was actually asked for :oops: ]

Checked it out on Google. It's now a hunting shop and has historical claims on its site to full bore target shooting. Initial observations seem on the money. Nothing stays the same, does it?

Yep that could well be the C & B origin. Mike C would know. I think Din made some triggers ?

I have a Kiwi branded trigger that is fitted to an old P14 conversion from around the time of changeover from 303 to 7.62. It is a very nice trigger. I believe (and could be wrong) that a guy called Ken Meade (spelling???) made the Kiwi branded triggers. Maybe he had some tie in with Dinny though.
