Anglo Custom straight pull SLR's

[David TS]

Some of the ones that went to Sierra Leone of course did end up in the hands of the notorious West Side Boys (but we did go and get them back......)

Thousands of kits (everything but the receiver) were sold in the US. Most were like new.
At that time Lithgow receivers were available and I built up several.

I picked up an interesting snippet of information the other day. This batch of rifles were refurbed by Luxembourg Defence Techniques (LuxDefTec), which is common knowledge.

However, I have always wondered where mine originated from, and I was told the other day that they came from the Falkland Islands Defence Force. Anyone know if this is true?

That information has been around a long time.

More interesting is who was sniffing around another batch located in the Netherlands not so long ago.......

The wholesale prices on these also make interesting reading for those spending almost £2K on the finished straight pull.

Are you trying to spoil yet another thread about the ACR SLR?

The price of a (probably) non Firearms Act 1968 compliant rifle somewhere in Europe has little to do with the price of a S. 1 compliant rifle in the UK.

I paid £1,899 for my L1A1, same as everyone else. Gavin didn't put a gun (pardon pun) to my head and make me buy it, I did so of my own free will, same as everyone else that bought one.

I love my SLR, and to me it was worth every penny, and I haven't heard a bad word against them from anyone else that has bought one. For me it means I have a little bit of history in my gun cabinet, and thanks to Gavin as that wouldn't have been possible without his efforts.

The only person I know of that isn't happy is you, you had the chance to buy one but it all went wrong. I'm very sorry for you, but you have to live with that, so please do not continue to bring your negativity here every time someone mentions the words "ACR straight pull SLR"

He can't help himself. Behaves like a spolit child because he had to make up some stories that were proved to be total fantasy. Illegal accessories etc...

David - not really sure what has offended your sensibilities this time....

Are you disputing that the Falkland islands info has been around for a long time? Are you saying that ACR didn't make a profit?

If you're happy - great, if ACR make money - great.

And what is your issue with the thread getting lockd? I started the thread in the first place.
