    I still have some excellent Illustrated Parts Catalogues in stock if you want a hard copy instead of a printout. They're the big pricey sum of $10 plus postage.

    My copy is not a printout, but neither is it excellent. I’ll shout you an email.

    I will be putting up details of how to purchase a copy at the end of March.
    Frank was 2 PARA's Master sniper in Iraq & Afghanistan and on retirement, now runs his own sniper company Sniper Solutions and works a lot with Accuracy International who will be at the launch showing off their wears!
    An original L42A1 Parts Pamphlet are as rare as the rifle, and as Alan states he has placed pages on th site previously for members perusal, so I don't appear thick here, do you mean you have two different numbers for the two parts, the brush and bottle? OR just the tissue?
    Two different numbers for each part.

    But I don’t know if the second number in each case is correct for the L42.

    Each “second number” could be an upgrade that superseded the or it could be something that entered the Britishicon Army supply system well after the L42s time.

    The smock changed a couple of times. Three different versions were correct for it, depends on the date.

    I’m not sure, so I’m hoping to find whatever version of the CES was in effect on the last day the L42 was part of the British Army.
