Lithgow L1A1

[enbloc8]

I wonder where my trusty old L1A1 AD6104714 ever went. It was a nice loose rifle and it would shoot all day and night with the gas port fullly open - just closed down 2 or 3 stops. Don't ask me how you ever remember these numbers!!!!! While talking of pooled Ordnance stockpiles, it must have been done on a pro rata basis because most (but not all) of our vehicles were pom Bedfords and big stuff, Australian type Land Rovers and NZ CAC made ammo

Well, I can report that its distant sibling, AD6113173, is alive and well in the American Midwest, and is an equally nice and loose rifle that will eat anything and thump targets longer than I can!!

What kind of furniture did yours have? Did it still have the solid wood handguards, or the laminated ones?
