Hello. Excellent project.

I have L42a1 T33462 marked as a 1971 rifle which I think you are already aware of. It has scope 19459 which is a Cooke Troughton and Simms one.

I have Enforcer 228 marked as 1973 and it came with Pecar scope 97642 on RAHS4 rings though it was actualy a 1 inch tube. This scope on my rifle only went out to about 700yards. I think most of us know of the inherent failing in the Parker Hale mounts and rings. Failing is probably not correct as the the equipment did what it was designed to do. It was never meant to be a 1000 yard rig. Fortunate in having other pecar scopes and reticule inserts I found a pecar scope that would go out to a 1000 on the original mounts and without shimming. I have since sold of my 2 spare pecars and unfortunately 97642 was one of the spares. My comfort is that I do not believe that it was the matching scope for 228 and also that it has gone to a nice chap in Canadaicon who has a few Enforcers and who in our communications increased my knowledge of the genre. Additionaly Enforcer 228 had magazine no 367 on it when I bought it. I very recently found out that one of my regular shooting colleagues has rifle no 367. Over the last 5 years or so we have both been at the range with neither of us realising. His No 367 and mine No 228 are both ex Derbyshire. Rifle and magazine are now reunited. If anyone out there has magazine No 228 I would be very interested.

Regards

Chris...
