I join the L1A1 Straightpull Club

[OxfordAndy]

Mine is an Enfield 1959,

All from one rifle, or just from the same year?

I understood that these Anglo Custom straight-pulls had to be made of a mixture of parts from different rifles in order to not be classed as Section 5?

I know there is some debate about whether LuxDefTec or Schumacher Arms actually provide the rifles in this way as they divert all questions regarding Section 5 compliance to ACR.

Please do not start mischief causing another thread to be locked - let your dispute with ACR go, or at least please do not bring it into this thread

LDT and Schumacher would divert S5 questions - the Firearms Act 1968 is a British statute and does not apply to them.

The ACR L1A1's are Section 1. I have a copy of the email from the Forensic Science Service when they signed them off as such, and my FEO (full time, a shooter, ex armed forces, very knowledgeable) was quite happy with mine when he was doing my Firearms Certificate renewal three days ago

David, no mischief intended.

Just a geniune query as, when I was in discussion with ACR they were unable to guarantee or confirm whether it was possible for all thell original parts would be from either the same factory or the same year. However the vagueness of their replies on this could have been down to dealing with a salesman, not a qualified gunsmith.

I am fully aware of the claims ACR make for their rifles and Section 1 compliance regarding ACPO FELWG and the FSS letter - hence the query.

I was going to reply to this but have decided it is a waste of breath. It's all been said before

Please don't spoil Dirtbag's, or anyone else's thread, like you did the last one.

Every one of us that has bought one loves the gun. You made your choice.

They are here, they are legal, that's it!

I go by the reciever which has an Enfield Serial and 59 date. some other parts are D59 marked. All My brit wood is BSA B1960. The wood I got before I got the rifle as I was expecting a BSA, but even happier when I got an Enfield one (Cheers Anglo !)

I had mine with suit at the range yesterday, all on a target on my own. After a few cracks with some Federal I was totally surrounded by club members wanting to have a look / go. I managed to get a video of a group I shot which I will have on my YT channel soon.

My FAO is happy with this rifle, I am happy, so no issues here.
