Not an Enfield scope but it did the put the No32 into retirement..

Don't you just love all these new little twists, life used to be fun once.

and kerry in the states just signed the UN small arms treaty that is going to be used to reinforce obama's strict no surplus arms to be imported or us made surplus arms to be re imported policy ...IE thousands of M1's from korea......

surplus arms are going to be harder to get in the future because of the US government. now it is not impossible to get arms shipped to the states. it is just going to get a lot harder.

thanks, uncle sam.....

Its not over yet, as the Senate has to ratify the treaty. Probably wont be ratified.

Very strange coincidence this thread should pop up now as I have just done the deal on one of the four AWs used in trials by the Oz Army in the mid '90s.

Is this the type of bracket?

By Sword and Musket L42 Trials Rifle in 7.62mm

[Peter Laidler]

Nope. And that rifle is a complete figment of someones not so fertile imagination. What you technical people would call 'a comple e load of bxxxxxxs'. If anyone knew about this 'trials' sniper rifle, surely it'd be the Trials and Development wing at Warminster. Maybe I missed that page.

[Simon P]

That's exactly what I thought, but have never seen that type of bracket before, I wonder who made it?

[PrinzEugen]

Is that a numbered enforcer scope on it?

£3750 - that's quite, er, strong!

[Peter Laidler]

The long brackets were made as a bit of an interim, some say for the special forces, to evaluate other telescopes. The Leatherwood was one of them. S&B were another but..... anyway! But by then the L42 had had its day and in any case, at the time the replacement trials were well under way resulting in the adoption of the L96 in '84/85

If you want to know what the L96 S&B scope mount looks like, it's clearly shown on the thread, in the CES.

I found the thread I was looking for, and the pic of the bracket, will ask the owner if he would be so kind to post a better pic.

[Simon]

Yep Brian , Still here, still lurking, still smarting from that one!
