Experimental LB sniper rifle.

[Claven2]

No such thing as a No.1MkIIIT. There were MkIII sniper rifles, but they didn't use that designation and very few still exist. Perhaps even fewer examples than LB experimental sniper rifles! Expect to pay dearly

I find if anything, these LB experimentals are the forerunners to the L42 sniper rifle.

Not sure how many here have seen this, but it's worth a look - trust me

Thanks much Claven! I find that having pics like these is a good percentage as good as having the rifle itself. Much appreciated.

I am assuming that the scope is mounted lower down, closer to the bore,(vs the Cno67) thus the desire for the offset iron sights?

Not sure, I didn't measure the bore clearance?
