For those afficados

[chosenman]

Yeah, Promo is probably right. The Australian currency conversion to UK pounds is pretty much the average here for a nice example. One of the L42’s converted from a Longbranch 4T recently sold for £18,000, and it wasn’t a pretty gun.

What is an "afficado???

I seen one sell for $12995.00 in Canadian funds

My interpretation is "A specialist collector with excellent knowledge on certain products origins and types that collects them" I.E L42's in this instance....

OK, thanks. In the USA we have a roughly similar term but spell it differently.

aficionado - noun
An enthusiastic admirer or follower; a devotee or a fan

What is an "afficado???

Someone who is an expert and/or lover of spelling mistakes?

I have read an article published in 2000 about the 12 Australian Army trials L42A1 rifles.
Apparently most were not put through the trials process at all with 9 of the 12 rifles that were in storage at Randwick in the early 90's being unfired.
There could not be many L42A1's in this condition around.

I would sell you an actual C3/M82 for merely half that price, plus shipping and applicable taxes/fees of course.

As an added bonus, mine will actually be in the actual serial number range...

Cinders, I thought that was an '85.


Woops, my bad....took another look, M82
