    New to me, L42A1

    Got her over the weekend from sunny California, a 1970 converted L42. I have been looking for a non-1971 converted rifle and when she popped up I scrapped up the small fortune to grab her.

    Originally a "V" series 1945 BSA it surprisingly still has its originally paired H&H scope (from location and style of mount s/n). Scope is a '46 AKS with a non-standard dessicant screw??? (a first for me). All matching with the scope and rifle s/n even on the transit chest stapled on a card on the end of the chest.

    So the quest for the kit starts. I have a cleaning kit and chamber stick, just picked up a sling from Nigel so hopefully the rest will appear soon...
