    Accuracy International PM/L96 Integrally Suppressed

    Hi all,

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many privately owned integrally suppressed barrel kits for the AI PM/L96 there are in private hands? I only know of one currently, they certainly aren't common.



    Outside of private hands I know the Royal Armouries and the Small Arms School Collection in Warminster both have one but those are the only others I know of, it could be safe to assume that the defence academy at Shrivenham might have one too.

    Nobody really knows how many L96/PM's in any variant are in public hands.

    It's all guess work

    And, when I did an FoI request to the various forces, one came back and said they had all been guillotined as they could not sell them to civilians.
    I know the location (around the world) of 5 of their Enforcers happily all in one piece and apparently functioning correctly.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Yes, I know Withams and previously I used to gpo top the MOD dispersal sales (before it went out to civilian auctions) at Ruddington.
    Bought a few BSA Bantams and got them registered and sold on.

    Went there on once behalf of the Gliding Club looking for a big truck that we could convert to a launching winch.

    Surprising what stuff still comes up - a few years ago I bought some stillages of No4 furniture - I sold the last 3 sets to a buyer in the 'Klondike' a couple of years ago.

    "Money makes the world go 'round..." Turns a lot of people around as well.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928
