Ah........, original configuration....... The Canadian Govt let them into the Country because they knew that within a year they'd be next to useless. There was a semi auto version available for commercial sale here too and a few did get into private hands. But shortly afterwards, semi's were banned. That was a true stroke of luck really because the Government had to buy them in so the public owners never got to know just how, er....., I need to be careful with my choice of words here........, er...., yes, dire they were.

I imported a single shot SA80 back from Canadaicon (with odd serial number range). But I have to say that there are no complaints about it now and it's certainly coping with the hard work it's being asked to do in the 'warm climates'
