L39A1 7.62 Lee Enfield rifle LICENCE REQUIRED

L39A1 7.62 Lee Enfield rifle, 27.5inch heavy barrel, bolt head marked 00, fitted with standard 10 round 7.62 magazine, and civilian style butt, serial number UE69A316, fitted with Pecar 4-10x45 variable scope, Armalon mount, and Visa-Pod bipod which clears the front sling swivel, with padded soft case.

UK RFD OR FIREARMS LICENCE WITH CORRECT 7.62 VARIATION REQUIRED TO BUY THIS LOT.

In conjunction with the civilian target shooting world and the Army Rifle Association, the Light Weapon Defect and Modification Committee agreed that the build standard of the L39 rifle may be altered to include the following:
A commercial SLING SWIVEL can be fitted in place of the front trigger guard screw
A commercial STOCK FORE-END can be fitted using commercially or UK Military recognized practice to ensure the correct bedding and assembly of the barrel and body
STOCK BUTT can be replaced with the service No5, No8, No4 variants and a commercial ‘monte-carlo type with suitable face pieces dependent on the competitor's competitive situation.

UE69A 316 was manufactured in 1969 and the batch of c.300 rifles dispatched to the Army Rifle Assn on 11/04/69

This was subsequently purchased by the vendor's elderly friend to shoot mainly in the McQueen during the Trafalgar Meeting each year. The gentleman went into care 8 years ago and post CV19 has accepted that the rifle now has to go.
