    Australian Sniping and the PH M82 Sniper Rifle

    Although not Enfield related, I thought some of our members might be interested in this....
    Very similar to the Britishicon Army Pam No4 for the L42, but featuring the PH M82 with ZF 69 Kahles scope

    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 ...

    Very interesting, thanks. I'd like to complete that CES list for mine, got most of the spare bits but the carry case and sling are the main things I need to find but probably like the proverbial rocking horse ***..!

    Love to find that manual. The accessories are very pricey. The drag bag and sling especially. Somebody here in Canadaicon made up a few "clone" slings to outfit their kit as they could not find the "rocking horse pooh ". Ron (Canada)

    Any more pictures of the cased M82 (3rd Pix). Serial number is R-34323 if I'm seeing the tag correctly. Ron (Canadaicon)

    They knew how to select a good rifle then??

    Does anyone know if the Australianicon issued M82’s came with a transit case as pictured in the manual shown?
    Or the one with the red interior in the picture posted by Son?
