    Talking Picked up my L42A1!!

    Got my L41A1 from the seller (finally!), and I must say, the rifle is just.....

    Not much in the area of accessories with it, just the scope, bracket, can, can strap and leather scope covers...and of course the transit case

    When the weather gets better, I plan on a 5 rifle shootout between the Enforcer, L42A1, No4Mk1T, No4 Trials T and my No4MkI* half convert Savage...results should be interesting to say the least. the only import mark I can find on the rifle is GEMCO NJ, so was this one a Navy Arms rifle?? So without further ado, the rifle...

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Looking forward to the comparo and congrats on your 'new' rifle. On a good day (for me) my L42 will go head to head with my unfinished (T) at 300 yards. The L42 isn't nearly as picky WRT ammo, tho'. I'm shooting AU surplus now that doesn't have the NATO stamp and does seem to shoot a click or two lower than '65 (Or was it '67?) US NATO spec.

    You should be able to pick up the chamber stick, BUT that plastic bottle for the scope brush will be a problem as well as the mounting bracket for the IR scope and the scout regiment telescope.
