Peter Please - L42A1 Scope Tool?

[Terry Hawker]

Hello Peter,

Perhaps you would be kind enough to let me pick your brain again. In a discussion that started on Gunboards Sniper forum at L42A1 sniper slings found at War & peace show - Gunboard's Forums and, which in my typically computer-inept fashion, I continued on their Lee-Enfield forum at, L42A1 - L1A1 Scope Adjusting Tools? , two gentlemen were quite adamant that there was an issue tool, sighting telescope, for the L1A1 telescope on the L42A1 rifle.

I was always under the impression that such was not the case, which seemed to be born out in all three editions of your handy book on the "Telescope Sighting No. 32" and also your excellent, "An Armourer's Perspective: .303 No. 4 (T) Sniper Rifle".

Thought perhaps I had missed the publication of a new reference, as both these gents said they had read about this tool, one of them even stating it was in one of your works. I asked where this information can be found, but, as yet, neither has divulged his source. One fellow was kind enough to post a photo of this tool on both threads I mentioned above, but to me, it has a distinct after-market look about it.



Understandably, you may be be too busy to look at the Gunboards threads, but if you don't mind, could you please let us know here what you may know about such a tool?

As always, thanks for the benefit of your knowledge.

Best regards,

Terry
