That's nice to see, someone who has the TWO variations of the true CES booklets. The foolscap and the landscape versions. Wow, never seen the two together AND a what looks like a sealed pack of the original lens cleaning tissue....., phew!

I'll tell you what is even RARER that a Savage or LB converted L42, and that's a Trials converted L42!

Those that were selected as suitable for conversion were whitttled down to two, due to the backsight configuration not being compatable with the M converted standard backsight.

Hmmm, I wonder what ever happenend to those two?????

Peter, did Charlie ever PM you regarding his L42? The reason I thought you may have had first hand experience of it is because it was one of batch that was despatched directly to Warminster on completion.

Cheers,

Simon.

Brad,

Rifle X31818 was part of a batch of 12 rifles and records show a completion date of 26th October 1971. On completion it was despatched to store at Donnington.

Cheers,

Simon.

Simon,

I had to double check myself.





I am excited to get some information on this rifle. It is probably my favorite rifle that I own.

Thanks,

Brian

Peter,

I purchased the books from Brian in Reno a couple of years ago. Brian was gracious enough to inspect the L42 for me prior to purchase.

A fellow CSP member was kind enough to set me up with the lens brush and the flannel cloth. I think I will leave it in the bag.



I was also able to get an orginal lens bottle to complete that portion of the kit.



Now, where on earth can I find an IWS Mount? The hunt continues!!
