2. Date: 1931, last digit not separately struck
3. Status: No4 Mk1
8. Trials/inspectors marked components throughout, including the correct magazine....
It’s mint too. Looks all original. Is that a recess in the wrist of the wood for an SMLE safety catch?
Thanks again for your help.
Absolutely fabulous. Thank you.
In fact, this might be right place to ask for direction towards any reliable photos of a C Pattern rifles. I have all the usual reference books but unless I can’t see it for looking, I can’t find a...
Hi. Not much written about the C Pattern rifles. Was it part of the ‘pattern’ then to have a sling swivel on the trigger guard?
Kind regards.

Hi
Looking for a Gibbs rear sight for an SMLE if anyone has one in a cupboard or a drawer?
Thanks for reading.

Keen to purchase an original leather Winchester A5 Scope Case. I’ve been looking for ages. I’m U.K. based.

Hi
I still have my A32562, so it shouldn’t be that one!
Doesn't appear to be even WD stamped (I have a WD stamped set). My understanding is that these were produced for the civilian market too, so nothing to guarantee that this particular pair of sights...
Hi
I am lucky enough to already have the Gibbs optical foresight for an SMLE, but I am looking for an example of the correct club backsight (referenced and pictured p26, The British Sniper,...
I've just noticed that the 'scope for Enforcer 071 is on a rifle advertised on Gunstar. It may be of interest to someone...

Roger, thanks. Yes, it looks like it has been there since the rifle was minted as a No4T. I like the idea of it having an interesting history too.

It is stamped as a '72 conversion so that makes sense. Thank you again.

Hi
I have recently acquired L42A1 'A32562'. I'm assured it's on the list .
Interestingly perhaps is that it has an 'N' stamped below the serial number and above the 'TR'. It looks like it was...
You never know. 🤞
Right then. Having read this entire thread over two days I thought I’d add what I know about a couple of Enforcers. I only do this in the interests of adding to this valuable open-source archive.
I...
Got it, thanks!
Hi
Someone was compiling a data base on Australian Lithgow HT rifles. Is that still an ongoing project? Can anyone point me in the right direction as I've just purchased one?
