 <description><![CDATA[These are not the standard British Sniper Rifles issued at that time which was the .303inch Lee Enfield No: 4(T) and was still in use in the Royal Marines until mid-1960 when it was re-chambered to use the 7.62mm round. The standard round issued was not good enough so special rounds were ordered for Sniper use only.  When using the Lee Enfield Snipersin the Corps would try an d get the .303inch 7Z round which was standard issue for the .303inch Vickers Medium Machine Gun  (MMG) which had a “Boat end or tapered “ bullet, the new style Rifle was called the L42.  In this photo these Rifles are perhaps being “trialled” to measure their worth.<br />
