Hi all,

I've got a couple of questions relating to the L42A1 sniper rifle. First off, the technical one. I understand that the barrel is a larger diameter than the old No 4 .303 barrels up to where the foresight block is mounted. Does anyone happen to know what that diameter is?

Now a service use question. With only 1080 or so rifles converted, how many were typically on issue within an infantry battalion? Were there some TA regiments that simply never got them?

Cheers!
