L42 Photos

Some L42a1 scope turret photos in this thread:

L42a1

See Posts #4 and #10 (#4 has no "M" and #10 shows the "M" on the turret.)

This thread also details the variance in clicks from "0-10" for the No.32 versus the L1A1 scope.

Ummmm...

Hmmm, I had assumed since you posted these pics originally that the chest was yours. If I'm mistaken, my appologies. I'm looking for the dimensions for the sticker shown on the side of the chest in photo DSC01732-1 that shows the NSN of the L42 and the serial number of the rifle in both bar code and alpha-numeric formats, followed by a "receipt number" - whatever that is! If you happen to know the dimensions it would be a huge help.

Cheers

A huge help for what purpose?

If to make new, then I'm not particularly interested in providing dimensions.

The case and rifle are still in my collection.

Photos from a German auction site.

The painted on markings are a little bit different than most:

How much does the IWS weigh?

The L42A1 D71 markings are a local addition by someone with a vivid imagination. What a complete load of bollo....., er......... er........., rubbish. Even the most loopy or dozy storeman wouldn't do that. Some sellers think we're muffins! Just my opinion in my limited experience. I've never seen a serial number on a butt. Butt number, yes, but even the dopiest Arms storeman and Orderly Officer doing the weekly serial number arms check will know that if he looks hard, he'll find the master number on the body.
