Britian’s L42A1 | King Of The Enfield Sniper Rifles

In a project intended as an addendum to a previous book on the No. 4 (T) sniper rifle, author Jeff John’s research uncovered enough tantalizing detail regarding the development process leading to the L42A1 sniper rifle to warrant an entirely new book.

Britain’s L42A1: King Of The Enfield Sniper Rifles is a fascinating journey outlining the final iteration of the Lee-Enfield-based sniper rifle, which served the United Kingdom through the First Gulf War.

The 82-page monograph provides a wealth of information and imagery regarding the rifle, shooting results, equipment and historical context.

Several supporting appendices outline the British experience in the Falklands War.

MSRP is $29. For more information, visit jeff-john.com.
