Good looking plain OD transit chest for an L42.

Would like 1000 USD- make me an offer

Update on 30 AUG 21- Sold.

Ran across this scope on a Gun Broker Rifle.

It appears to be a Mk 2 scope with the Mk 2 data barred out, as on an L4a1 scope, and new engravings obscured by the scope bracket.

Seems to read...

Quaint job of mending one of the carry handles and some numbers stenciled onto the box ends but not easily read- you could probably convince yourself that it was the...

T Box#1

A somewhat sad box with interesting barely visible markings and a curious 'modifcation' to the interior label.

Box#6

Interesting box which was painted a bright blue at one point. The Interior is missing the label and one of the wooden restraining portions is cracked in two.

One sticker clearly shows...

Any idea whether there's any more of the Faris collection in future auctions?

I am only interested in 1 of the 13 chests, the rest need to be sold. I'd really like to find the guys who have the rifles which match these chests.

Has anyone seen an example of an REL scope with a C- Broad Arrow stamping on it?

Everything I see is Broad Arrow marked only.

My understanding is that the rifles were issued with the No4 magazine and no Iron Sights.

The units would purchase the iron sights and very often made modifications to the rifles in order to allow...

Have noticed that a number of the T rifles have an 'X' stamp in the wood near the front pad.

I haven't seen any mention of these marks in any of the usual references and wondered if anyone knew...

Thanks.

What I'm wondering is, whether the Ts being produced...
