Complete IWS Kit for the L1A1 Rifle (and others)

[Buccaneer]

I was offered this complete kit some while ago and given its condition I would have been silly to refuse it. It came with three '93 dated batteries and I have since purchased two more 2002 dated ones. I have been told that they last longer if kept cold so they all now live in the fridge (thank heavens for a very understing wife).
I understand that the scope has passed through Peters hands at some time in the past which probably explains its very good condition, it is dated 1972 and serial numbered SS9035.
I have mounted it onto my straight pull just to get a feel of the beast and beast is about the right way to describe it as is so heavy but I must admit it does work very well. In its day it was probably cutting edge but now with everything so small and light it is something of a dinasour but I am very pleased to be able to have it in the collection.
