British weapons designations

[Wholley]

The L42A1,built upon the Btitish Lee Enfield
Model.No4(T) was only withdrawn from service as obsolete a mere
twelve years ago.4(T) conversions from .303 to 7.62x51mm NATO began in 1970.The scope was also recalibrated for the 7.62 round and redesignated from"Telescope No.32 Mk 111"To"Telescope,Straight,Sighting,L1A1.
Once the scope and rifle were mated they remained that way for the rest of their service life.

Bang on me Luver! Teams of two were sent out one to spot, one to fire. And will tell you now, you lived together, ate together, and most importantly worked together. And after work trapped and Pi**ed up together. (best time to be honest with you all! )

Rank had nought to do with it either. If a Marine was number one it did not matter about the rank of the spotter at all, Number one was in charge when the sh*t was going down...........So I heard.

Can we please now stop this stupid "What have you shot" crap that is perculating onto this site. You want to learn all about muzzle velocities of various weapons then go and join www.soldierofmisfortune.com or summut like it.

Lets just have a good time hey?

Artist,
the"what have you shot"Thread Has never really interested me.
I know what Iv'e used and what I'm good with.
I would like to see that thread go away too.
The L42AI was a beautiful rifle,reliable and a real"Tack Driver"As we say here.

If you don't like the thread - don't read it and don't reply to it.
Each to their own.
Ever thought that people might find your posts boring?

[Wholley]

Now listen up sunshine,

Then you can f@#k right off.
Preferably sooner rather that later.

I believe he was an armourer, and may be able to help with your original enquiry.
Amazing what clouds your mind when whanging along the M4 innit.

We'em boring!

The last time I was caught being boring was when I dug some test pits in Chester whilst working for English Heritage. We discovered that the ground was made of Earth and stuff. Now that was Boring and the boring was boring as well.

I think that last sentence is correct but will accept amendments from well educated English Majors Vis a Vee it's correctness. Will finish now as I don't want to seem Boring.

Steve you were never boring Pissed sometimes but never boring. I did not know that you were a long range pinger well done mate. I done my course in 73 with a Mark 4 converted to 7.62, anyway who cares what number they are targets will fall when hit.
