L8?on gunbroker

[limpetmine]

I've seen a couple of these as well. The seller thought well more of them than I.

I have a feeling that there was also at least one Belgian company that was assembling 7.62mm No4s, and marketing them as ".308W"; I've seen two similar rifles, both with ".308" stamped on the barrel and the side of the butt. Both had Belgian proof. Neither had the Ishy screw; one had an apparent Canadian barrel with no bayonet lugs, the other had a Sterling barrel. They had Enfield magazines.

The only original L8's I've ever seen except for one of the six experimental L8T conversions belonged to the MoD and ALL had the distinctive markings on the left side of the body as engraved at Enfield. The early Trials L8T didn't but had the early Enfield produced barrel and trials Enfield Pattern magazine installed.

Correction: The L8T didn't have the early trials magazine but a later D65 marked original replacement.
