    Open offer

    After checking to make sure this is OK, I have an offer to make to the board.

    By profession I'm a draughtsman. Given I've been trying to build up an L42 clone myself for quite a while, I have a vested interest in the availability of high quality barrel drawings for the L42 that any one of us can send off to our barrel maker of choice, so here’s my offer:

    I have a barrel drawing started based on the few hard numbers I have been able to secure from members of this board and L42 owners. I will provide blank versions of this drawing to anyone who would be willing to visit Fultons and manually copy the (probably copious) notes on their original barrel drawing and return it to me. After receiving the marked up drawing I will transcribe the notes into AutoCAD and post the completed drawing on the forum for public use in both PDF and DWG formats.

    Grant580 has graciously agreed to vouch for my drafting ability and anyone with questions in that vein should contact him.

    Cheers!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
