Just curious,

I have a few old spec deac L1A1's that were originally UKicon civilian rifles before the semi auto ban of 1988.

Did any of our UK (or expat) members have L1A1's or 1A1's on their FAC's back in the day??

I believe the L1A1's were almost exclusively Lithgowicon in manufacture, but Indian 1A1's and a few semi auto converted Fals were encountered too.

What I would really like to see is an image of them being used at Bisley, I don't think I have ever seen a picture of a UK civilian owned, Sec1 semi auto L1A1.

How wide was the ownership of semi auto civilian service rifles prior to the ban (including all such beasts, semi Brens, Stens etc, was it still a niche area of shooting like Straight pull rifles are today, or was it more widely appreciated and enjoyed ... must have been much cheaper that's for sure!?

Anyone??
