... The reference sources that I've come across show the L1A1 as being manufactured by Lithgow commencing in 1959. Yet I clearly recall some Australianicon Troops being "on parade" during the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, armed with the then brand new, SLR (aka L1A1) ... Anyone know if these were in fact manufactured by Lithgow, or would they have been exported and under testing, from the UKicon ? ..... David K.
