    I wonder who told the author that L42's were still used in the Gulf and Afghanistan upto 2005............................ that might be an urban myth too far!

    If it didn't have the engraving it could be called a replica or composed, But IMHO, the addition of the receiver engraving just makes it a plain old fake.

    So a composite L42, put together on a 4T action, engraved to look like an experimental one?

    Experimental L42? XL42E1 in Auction

    Currently in Auction in the UK, thoughts on this?

    Is the bracket a genuine JC, or a heavily filed repro?

    Scope is a Mk3, description does state it's been put together.

    Original action?

    The other anomaly seems to be that the serial number is stamped into the bolt handle. All the ones I have owned and seen have been electro pencilled. Anyone got a stamped one?

    This has to be an assumption, unless you know of this particular rifle?

    It seems like an awful lot of machining to mess up a very valuable action? And for what purpose?

    There is a V32750 and a V32754

    No Y variants close.

    My guess is it is a typo on the list.
