This video delves into the history and specifications of the Lee Enfield L42A1 sniper rifle. It explains how the British military's adoption of the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge led to conversions of existing Lee Enfield actions, initially through civilian efforts and eventually adopted by the military. The L42A1, a conversion of the No4 MkI(T) sniper rifle, featured a shortened, free-floated stock and handguard, and a heavy barrel. A total of 1,080 were produced and served until 1992 when replaced by the Accuracy International L96A1.
