The buttstock and forend are blonde beech with the standard L-E grip (and not the C grip). The rear sight is the AJP TZ 4/47. It has a standard late manufacture aftermarket No 4 303 magazine.

This rifle is now located in Philadelphia. It will soon be located in Boston as my wife is the newest VP at IBM. She starts her new job with IBM on Monday. We will be relocating to Boston.

I have scanned earlier post and noted that UE.72. A1086 went to stores at Donnington. This is the rifle owned by the US Service member in Iraq.

I am a former Infantry Officer in the US Army. I served as an infantry commander in US 7 Infantry (Cottonbalers) and as a Foreign Training Officer in the USDoS/USDoD Military Assistance Program, etc.

Note: I made a typo in the header-- SN should read UE.72.A1088 as in the body of the message.
