Still a very nice looking rifle!
The reason that picture wasn’t posted on this thread is because it didn’t exist when the thread was posted.
I took more detailed pictures the last couple of days whilst I’ve been sending them off to...
Agree with all that’s been said in the last few posts.
I would be happy with £3k, it would get me my money back and get me the rifle I’m looking at.
I’ve put it up on here in the sales section at...
Rob.
I made it quite obvious in the initial post that I was thinking of selling it, there’s nothing coy about it.
I need an idea of what to ask, if a buyer happens to come along and I do decide to...
Highwood Classics have a non complete CES up at £8750.
You’re looking at £2500 for correct scope & mount (one sold on eBay last week)
£1k for an original transit case, the only other bits in that...
On the subject of the colour of the wood, I did spend a while looking at this when I first purchased the rifle.
There are a lot of L42s out there with mismatched wood, it’s usually that same piece,...
Thanks for your help mate.
I’ve emailed Richard, will see what he says.
Thanks Roy.
Yes if I do decide to sell I’ll get some better pictures together, these are just some I have on my phone at the moment
A real shame.
I have only ever actually fired 10 rounds through this rifle myself, it’s more of a collectors piece for me.
To be honest the RSM repro scope did the job, but I know it’s not a...
I’ll send the serial number over to Gil to see if he can turn up any info on it.

Hi all,
Struggling to get an idea of value on my L42.
Nice original rifle with all expected markings, but it is rifle only.
Mount and scope are repro, they are new although the scope has been...
Is this DS Solutions?
So it was initially a British rifle and at some point it was transferred to the South African military, that’s for sure.
I just wonder when it was sent over there, inter-war or post WW2, I guess...
Thanks all.
Edwards Shed was the place I had in mind to look at doing it for me, I’ll give them a shout.
Thanks Alan

Great stuff, thanks. Some really useful info there.
Great, thanks. I did have a look through the forum but didn’t turn anything up, I’ll have another go. Cheers
Hi all,
I am looking to have a L42 transit case made up as I’ve given up trying to find an original one.
If anyone that owns one would be able to get in touch to provide dimensions and detail...

Thanks for the info Daan.

Do you know when they were sold to SA? Was it post WW2?
Couldn’t find too much online but found one site saying 1930s and another saying post Second World War.
Hi all,
New member here, I apologise in advance for another ID thread but just want to confirm if what I’m thinking is correct.
I have a 1917 dated LSA SMLE, it has matching receiver, barrel &...
