Deactivated L42A1 7.62mm NATO Calibre Sniper Rifle in excellent condition. Complete with genuine No. 32 MKII scope, case, and mounts, with original leather sling. Optics on the scope are very good and the reticule is intact. This example is one of a small batch that were supplied to Rhodesia during their Bush War, in the mid 1970’s. These were officially sold to South Africa and then supplied clandestinely to Rhodesia to get around the UN embargo, and as such, has the correct ZA military stamp. The L42A1 entered service with the British Army and Royal Marines in 1970. They were rebuilt from Number 4 T rifles, and were well thought of by British and Commonwealth snipers. The scopes let them down somewhat, as they were essentially WWII technology, but the rifles themselves were very accurate out to ranges of 1000 yards. Only 1080 were ever converted. All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold a London or Birmingham proof mark and certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly.
