No.4Mk1(T) and L96 Accuracy International (Guns and Ammo Review)

I think that there was an 'L96' that lived up in Gladstone Qld or thereabouts. Australia can't be that big........, maybe some knows of the owner or the rifle.

If you have an L96 or variant and need one, I understand BDL have the correct slings and handbooks. Sorry if I'm repeating myself. It's an age thing. Not enough viagra

Yep, Gladstone is big but not that big ! A lovely town. That is where the AW/L96 hybrid that was up for sale did come from.

The seller went all quiet after he told me that he had removed the action from the chassis using some hand tools, he said that it had been glued in place & that he wanted to see what was under the action if anything. I kind of picked myself up of the floor after dropping the phone, my mind was trying to grasp the concept that someone had removed a factory bonded action from the chassis, but yes he confirmed that he had done so.

My 3 AW's are all bonded to the chassis, & I doubt that they could be removed without a great deal of effort & potential damage if not done correctly. The issue SR98's I have handled are similarly constructed. I have only handled a L96 back in the early 1990's but I would imagine that the construction details would be very similar.

The other thing that seemed odd about it was the serial number - it started with "08AW".
