    lens cleaning brush container for L42

    Dear friends,
    I am looking for a container for lens cleaner for L42, but given the rarity, I ask if someone who owns it would be kind enough to send me the dimensions of the container and the screw cap, length, internal and external diameter, both of the container and of the lid, which I try to see if I find something that can fit, or I replicate it in anti-UV transparent resin, (since my other hobby is plastic modeling I have a good experience in printing in resin). A heartfelt thanks in advance to those who will help me by sending me the measurements. Linpao

    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 ...

    I did notice, a few days ago, that a UKicon dealer has a couple of the containers for sale. You may wish to sit down before looking at the price? What price do they normally go for?

    Good Day, I don't believe the examples listed for sale by D&B are UK MoD. They appear to be the Swedish m96 Mauser dual plastic cleaning tubes.

    Those Swedishicon Mauser tubes are beautiful, if they were correct in size, but they are very small, at a crazy price, and then I have them!!!

    That dealer is a dealer and not a knowledgeable collector! the empty bottles sell for around £5 widely used by the Britishicon Army as the 84mm Carl Gustave sub calibre cleaning kit (at that price I could sell him all my stash!!
    have you looked at the Swedishicon AK4 cleaning kit? Liberty tree did have some in stock
