All 27 ex police L96's are in civilian hands and I understand it is estimated that there are around 10 ex military L96's also in civilian hands in the UK with a similar number of ex military examples in the USA. A rare beast to say the least.

The body should be EASY. You start by getting hold of the single shot version of the same and setting up your milling machine and.......

In case any one is interested, I am in communication with S&B around kitting an old 6x42 commercial scope to roughly L13 spec.
They mentioned that they could build me a close copy ground up from old parts, but for the following:
- Green would be a different shade
- Grat would be impractical to have as it would have to be a one off.
They could even for replacements while in service only offer a reticule of a post with stadia and range finding bars as per the earlier post.
The chap went on to say that he understood this had been fitted to a small number of MoD l13s as a replacement/alternative part when these where repaired/serviced by S&B.
