NZ contact L2A1

[mrclark303]

Evening all,

I managed to locate and buy the old spec deac ex NZ contract L2A1 that eluded me a few weeks back.

Pleased as a dog with two appendages really, it's a very rare beast here in the UK indeed. She needs a bit of tidying up, but she's got full matching numbers and it's all there.

In fact during my years of collecting all things inch pattern here, I have never seen, nor heard of any examples sold or avalable for sale.

The only examples encountered are Malay or Singapore contract, or on occasion, mix and match rifles built up from parts.

The only other examples of the Australian or NZ service spec L2A1's I have seen are the live examples at Warmenster.

Anyone know of any others in the UK, there must be some?

This example fills a gap in my collection and sits alongside my deactivated ex Malay contract UK (pre 88 ban) civvy example.

Pics when I get a chance gents.

Cheers John.
