I'd love to know about any info you have on this rifle. Also I would like to know what proof markings my rifle should have and would appreciate any info on these.

I would be very keen for any L42 owners especially those with post 1971 dated actions to take the top wood off and advise the date on both the action and barrel. I am interested in finding out more about when the chordal barrels were manufactured and then fitted to actions.

Many thanks

Rifle Serial number 37027 isn't recorded in the information I have available. Please don't interpret that to mean there is something suspicious about the rifle as there are known gaps in the records and you will find other rifles in this thread that aren't recorded either

Cheers,

Simon.

I wonder if Longbow and me are the only two with known consecutive serial numbers. M-37026 and M-37027. Mine was from the sniper division at Warminster and never went into commercial hands
