The main parts I need to rebuild it are the wood pistol grip and butt.
I have some early wood hand guards for the L1A1 stamped late 50’s or early 60’s (not truly accurate but close enough for government work….)
I have seen many different types of butt for the X8’s they differ where it joins the trigger mech. housing,
some overlap the housing, others are just a flush fit. I am thinking I will have to either make a whole new butt .. or .. convert an existing wooden butt like the Rhodesian R1.

Other small parts missing are .. trigger guard, fore sight, metal work for the butt and pistol grip, straight carrying handle and probably the hardest to find.. the sliding “latch” on the side of the cocking handle. (I think its another thing that will have to be made from scratch)

even after all that I should have an old spec. deactivated X8E1 for less than an Old spec. deactivated L1A1
