    I have read in the website http://www.amstevens.fsnet.co.uk on the Enforcer, that they originally played with an Envoy and Pecar telescopic sight, before they came up with the Enforcer. But I was not aware of the Envoy and ART silenced version being “tinkered” with.

    I was lead to believe the trails telescope was a Leatherwood, which was placed against the No.32 in the 60’s & 70’s (Page 103-104 An Armourers Perspective). The “trails” bracket was made for these trials, for use on the L42A1. I don’t know the user of news.webshots, but found it and thought I was interesting.

    As a mater of interest the development of the leatherwood ART, was shown on page 296 of (Out of Nowhere history of the military sniper). May be the imaginative user of news.webshots saw this? I understand they tinkered with the (Green S&B L1A1), with the SAS bracket used in the 90’s with the L42A1 as a fill in to aid the L96A1.(Ian Skennertonicon’s Britishicon Empire Sniper Rifles SAIS No.22 ).

    Nice Pictures of the L42A1 CES.
