Dave,

Rifle number AH9334 does not appear in the records I have access too but please don't read anything into that. It is a fact that the remaining records are not 100% complete and to be honest I'm surprised that of all the serial numbers I've checked out to date I think this is the first one that isn't in the records I've got access too.

I would appreciate it if you could PM me some pics and details on your rifle so I can add the details into the records for the future.

If you bear with me I'll have a count up of the serial numbers listed when I have a little more time and get back to you on the numbers converted.

Cheers,
Simon.

I would be greatful for any information you have on her
Serial No. AH9334 from a M47 1943 No.4T.
On a similar tack do you have an overall production figures for number of L42's produced, and does your data include details of those L42's that have fallen in battle ( once read an article of one sniper who dumped his L42 in a stream in the falklands after it continualy jammed, [I didn't find it though in the years I spent down there after hostilities ceased] ).
Thanks for your help I look forward to your reply.
