Gil Boyd -L42 serial number 13328

[Roger Payne]

Do you have more info on this rilfe? Any photo's? The serial number alone suggests it may be an early Maltby rifle, in which case you will not see M47C on it, nor the TR & so forth. Further, a large part of the Maltby markings would be obscured by the front body pad, thus adding to the difficulty in identifying it. But some photo's would really help, preferably with the scope & bracket OFF.

Are Maltby produced L42s rare ? It also is all beechwood. Just a different bird as compared to the BSA produced rifles. Thanks for the info. Explains everything.
