L8(T) Enfield: The British Army Fails to Make a Sniper
This video examines the L8(T) Enfield, a British Army attempt to create a 7.62mm sniper rifle based on the No4 Enfield platform. Despite converting six accurate No4(T) sniper rifles and fitting them with No.32 scopes, the L8(T) models failed to significantly improve accuracy over their .303 predecessors. The description highlights that British civilian shooters achieved success with 7.62mm No4 conversions, and only through collaboration with the British NRA did Enfield finally develop the accurate L42A1. The video features one of the original six L8(T) trial rifles.
