    Got one myself John, I intended to graft part of a spare body on the part that Geoff had machined off........ its still in the back of a cabinet.............., lovely rifle but as its been said before, its an example of what not to do with a No4T.

    I sold the (Brindles) sight some time back (Mick will give you the run down on where the name of the sight originates). I'd started to make a scope bracket on one of the ships I was on and also a chassis system for it so I could use a set of AW stock panels.

    Unfortunately they went AWOL when I moved ship, (I did have a lot of projects onboard) including a **** ***........... anyway back to L42, I'm on the look out for a IWS sight if you come across one.

    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 ...

    Brindles = John Light.

    Geoff I will at some stage do a potted history on John Light and Brindles for the forum.

    Thanks for all the L42 feedback guys, as always it takes us off down the Enfield rabbit Warren to other fascinating lessor known areas of breed.

    Why have we moved Doug, if you don't mind me asking?
