Hi terry,
Well that answers a question doesnt it, lol i bet my old girls out there not being looked after, and Gunny i agree it is far better than the SA80, it has far better stopping power for a start. the old 7.62 against the 5.56, theres, no comparison what makes me laugh is that the taliban has the 7.62 in the AK and we have high power .22. stupid if you ask me, but the U.S wanted every Nato country to have them as they can be used by all. Our,s are being hit with man stoppers and we are using pellets,
Dave.

Nice looking piece of kit there Terry !! You are keeping the other half busy !!!

Very nice! Such a shame you have to deactivate them. I had the opportunity to fire a co-workers L1A1 about 15 years ago. An accurate rifle without a lot of kick.

Fortunately, I do not live in the U.K. and mine are not deactivated! I occasionally use the L1A1 on the range, but for those events prefer my earlier bolt-actions.

I used both the L1A1 & L1A2 during the 1980's, beautiful ,accurate, penetrating fire power.

My black lady:

Flyer... my fault

with a bit more concentration could be group even tighter

Not bad shooting there Perun..Maybe you squeezed the trigger a little too quickly which in turn would make the weapon jerk..high left!!!..That rifle is in tippy top nick..Has it a different flash hider??? or is it just my eyes?..Thanks for posting very nice...Cheers Terry.

Thanks! Those holes was made with Scope - I have to get used to peep sights. I think, flash hider is standard:

My L1A1 is (i think) factory rebuilt with almost - or - new PH Barrel.
I am very glad to have one - and it is a pleasure to shoot it.
Cheers - Robert.
