L42A1 1975

[Gil Boyd]

I have just trawled the ledgers I hold on the legitimate L42's produced and the closest to either rifle is K37636.
So these L42's are pure myth IMHO.

The serial number of the 1975 one shown in post 1 does exist on the Ledger, but it is for a 1971 dated rifle
H38307 Batch no.34 - Converted 16th Oct 1971.

So, either the number on the scope bracket doesn't match the rifle, or they have even fabricated the rifle serial number.

All very odd.

Roy,
Didn't have time to waste to trawl both numbers on the images shown, but certainly the one I was concentrating on 37638 is not there.

Got my back up when he just mentioned the SAS and the ROYAL MARINES....................no mention of THE PARACHUTE REGIMENT lol
