That's my thoughts regarding a straight pull L1A1, but if I ever get the bits to complete the .22 conversion kit then I,d need a L1A1 for it to go in, a vicious circle or catch 22 if there ever was one....... and does it stop there ?

I wouldn't snub the No 8 due to the price (my mistake in the past ) they are an excellent rifle, not only very accurate, collectable, cheap to run and also a good investment. ( a better investment if the statement in the link below is written in stone)
