    Well you have created a monster judging by the number of posts
    L39A1 S/n UE69 A 426
    L42A1 D75 (original s.n L32431)

    Of course there is one you won't be able to trace. A L39A1 clone done by Ms. Parker of A.J. Parker. Looks just like the government model except it's not marked as such. (much nicer condition as well) since it's had less than 100 rounds through it.

    Bought that years before the Brits released the real ones because I thought they never would.

    John,

    Rifle number A426 is recorded as having been sent to store at Donnington on the 20th Feb 1970.

    Rifle L32431 was part of batch number 70 which consisted of 13 rifles. Records show a conversion date of 12th November 1975, upon completion it was shipped to store at Donnington.

    Ahh yes Ma Parker's shop. She had an ancient dog with cardboard ears and the place always had a peculiar Ammonia smell if you catch my drift

    Cheers,
    Simon.
