Enfield P-37

[sure shot]

Does anybody know of a repro Enfield P-37? I've been wanting one for a long time but can't find one.

A quick check of a few references doesn't enlighten me regarding a "P37" Enfield. Do you mean the L39 or L42 sniper rifles, based on the No.4 SMLE actions?

It was an rifle an associate mentioned in passing. Maybe I am just confused. I think i'll check on this...

I was wrong... there is no p37. do they make repros of the L 39 and L 42?
bolt actions aren't my particular area of knowledge

The original British SMLE L39 and L42 sniper rifles are a bit pricey...as are original sniper rifles from any other country! Since they were built from standard No. 4(T) rifles modified for the 7.62 NATO caliber, it would probably be feasible to buy a .308 SMLE and convert it to a reasonably accurate representation of the later British sniper rifles. The hardest part would be finding an original No.32 Mark 3 scope and mount as used on the L42. Personally, I'd go for a lookalike scope and mount and install them on an L8 (No.4 chambered in .308) SMLE for a pretty good clone of an L42.

That seems like a good idea.
