Yes it seems Smith/Creek have changed their minds from their Monogram book to their Classic one....of course without saying why.
Anyone got their second Classic version? Maybe they have changed their minds a third time??
Disregarding the WNr, all sources I have seem to agree that No 2 with the French was the M17. Can't find any which states it was the M16. Just out of curiosity Simon, which source(s) are you quoting where it says M16?
Cheers
