You're right there John. I have a feeling that I mentioned this some time ago on the other side but about 50 or so of Roger Paynes brackets were utilised on the latter rebuilds of the L42's destined for War Reserve stocks and they were indeed perfect. It's ironic that some of the L42 owners out there who would probably shudder at a repro anything, probably have an MoD fitted repro bracket. Does that make it a repro? The owners of those riflescan at least be assured that they have one of the dedicated War Reserve Stocks held at xxxxxxxx in Berkshire

The steel stock and quality assessment was done at the material labs at Shrivenham and even that was the same horrible black-heart (or was it white-heart...?) malleable cast! It's such an old formula that I can't find the mix in Machinerys handbook any more!
