    I think you are absolutely right Roger.
    Both these rifles have been "manufactured" by an individual.
    One has to hope the seller knows very little about L42's and has himself fallen into the trap. All the stencils are incorrect on the metalwork, and other than the Scope being authentic not much else to say!
    In good parachuting verbage..........."Steer Clear" is my advice
    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
