Can anyone provide manuals or maintence info?

I've just scored one of each and want to restore/refinsh them both. My experience is limited to TR Rifes and modern millitary arms (G36-mp5-M16-M4-Uzi-GPMG-ect) and am usually quite handy with them.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds interesting, any pictures at this stage?

http://www.rifleman.org.uk/ has to be worth a look, certainly for the .22 trainer.

I have an original No.8 .22 manual dated 1959 - they seem to be quite common & I recall that folk on another forum had links to on-line copies of this version

Sniper manuals, for the L42? style rifles are possibly the same situation - as the originals I have are of two themes, the issue sniping manual - which heavily relates to whatever the current issue rifle is - and the rifle handbook. Both are good references, just depends on what 7.62 rifle you have as you've not used the correct name (which makes narrowing down your exact needs slightly difficult for now...)

The L42 was also featured in several post-45 manuals, so getting the complete set may take some time.

If the "Enfield Mk4 sniper" is the same layout as either the No1 or No4 rifles then I have a complete take-down and dismantling guide that I downloaded onto PDF, if that will help :?:
