Give it another 15 years and they might just re-issue the L96 again! 😬

Look, here's what must be proof positive of the extended life of the L42. The headstamp shows L42A1 it's dated 2003 and in a box that says "Sniper" on it!
Attachment 65317
I mean really what more proof do you need?

Don't want to pee on your Corn Flakes Si, but the L42 use with the trials bracket and whatever scope etc, I thought was supposed to be in use in the first Gulf War ? Op Desert Storm started, (17 January 1991 – 28 February 1991) remember the start well, I was testing the steering gear on the SS Esso Demetia and heading for Gulf.
So I,m not convinced of course if you find some brass dated 90-91 then its all the evidence needed, there say you could sell that box of rounds with anyone with an L42 and the trials bracket.... its got Sniper on the box and after a few exchange of hands will have more provenience probably than the Brackets...

I remember the start of Gulf 1 very well myself, I was working in Ulsan, South Korea at the Hyundai Car Plant.

Sorry, I promise to behave myself from now on
