BREN; fixed line sight

**Peter Laidler** · 01-19-2011 04:18 AM

That's an interesting question Wheaty because in the introductioin of the sight, it mentions that the case IS the binocular case - or am I mistaken? Any other comments from those that posess them

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Thats a new one on me too. As far as I know, the bino case was the only carrier (in conjustion with the special FLS insert). Perhaps there is another part to be found!

**Peter Laidler** · 01-19-2011 04:02 PM

I wonder if there was a lined FLS case, similar to the standard bino case. In much the same way as the lined compass pouch that was identical(?) to the pistol ammo pouch except for being felt lined.

Having said that, the FLS frame is a tight fit into the normal bino case

**Brit plumber** · 01-19-2011 04:13 PM

Not much room for padding on mine.

**Warren** · 01-19-2011 06:31 PM

Ah, but there IS a difference....
Kev: Did I send you the numbers on my FL sights ???

**Peter Laidler** · 01-20-2011 04:30 AM

er........................, well what is it then? Apart from the fact that one holds a pair of binos and the other holds a FLS box!

**Kev G** · 01-20-2011 02:19 PM

Yes Warren,I have them both logged.
I'm presuming that by the correct bino case you mean that 39 period dated to the FLS the bino cases would not have had the side buckles ?

I will paste the serial number stencollector,excellent suggestion to see if there are any more lurking about

Yes, but it's still a bino case Wheaty, albeit a 1939 bino case worn on the belt!

**Warren** · 01-21-2011 08:55 AM

Peter: The case without the buckles is a 37 Pattern case .....It appears most were used for the FL sight as they did not have the side buckles....
