SLR L1A1 STRAIGHT PULL

[Gil Boyd]

Well this morning I put a good 20+ rounds down the range of my old personel weapon. First time in many years. 7.62 x 51 GGG ammo through a 1961 all wood rifle triangle stock.

Fine for the first 5 rounds and then the usual hard to eject the empty case when the barrel gets hot, until you had fed the rifle with plenty of Browning spray oil!!!

I know I have discussed this with a number of people on here already in the UK.

What a waste of a beautiful self loading rifle to make it a straight Pull, when other rifles out there in the UK like the MASS conversions, could so easily have been applied to this weapon.

Only my point of view, but as I write, I understand the MASS days and the 50 Calibre days are very numbered here in the UK!!!
