Anyone in the UK with a straight pull L1A1, Peter Sarony at Armalon is building 22 conversion kits, built on the HnK system, come with 1 mag. Havent had the opportunity to use one but handled one, look really well engineered. If interested worth giving him a ring, believe they are running at 1500 quid, cheaper than a HnK, if you can find one.
John and I have already mentioned this in an earlier thread, and a few were interested, we assumed they would contact Peter direct. No harm repeating the offer.
I have mine and its perfect, can only say its the first and only straight pull L1A1 I have used in the UK that does not jam at all in 7.62 or 22 using Peters engineered parts.
Perfect engineering and worth every penny.;)
Hi Gil/Watty
i have been after a.22 conversion for a while and have a question that you can hopefully answer. What does the kit come under on your FAC ??? i have a slot for a .22 rifle will that suffice or will i need to put in for a variation??
Thanks Andrew
Morning Andrew, Pop in a variation for ".22 LR conversion kit".
In your application, give a little background regarding the rifle it's destined for and make sure they understand it's bolt group and liner.
Most police forces are only used to AR15 kits that simply swap out the bolt group, for a blowback unit with a chamber insert.
Saves confusion on your next inspection....

I've got several of these kits coming in for Customers and a couple of Specials Build L1A1 Straight Pulls.
You get what you pay for. Peters stuff might not be cheap, buts it properly engineered & set up, and this is where the money goes.
Thanks for the replies i managed to contact Peter today. Now i need to put in for a variation:thup::thup:
Happy to help...Quote:

Great shooting and great fun of course :thup:
We need some pics from Peter Gil, re the rather nifty mag loader....
He never fails to impress mate....
I was wondering about the price, just wonder what the original HK kit would go for in its box with original mags etc..... ??Quote:

Yes I could have had that kit knowing it was a proven L1A1 additive, but decided to help him out with John Clark to keep his business going for one, albeit he is busy anyway, but also to get the best, and someone you can always return to, to get a personal answer, and a finer craftsman you will not find!!

When you are ready Geoff, let me know. Might be heading back to the lake District in September mate, might be an opportunity to meet up?
Much appreciated John, Yep could do depending on dates etc, I'll be a tax payer again on the 20th Sept, (Contracting for United Utilities, you will remember them as North West Water)Quote:

Just received my conv kit box made by Andy Sharp, the workmanship and attention to detail are superb, if I knew how I would download pictures. This thing is bang on.
just to help watty12 out, without the kit fitted. the fittings are original ones taken from SA80 conversion kit boxes purchased from a
UK surplus dealer
