Lithgow L1A1

[enbloc8]

I asked about Canadian LB L1A1 sales because I never saw one in private hands. We had them at the big Base Workshop at Wetter in Germany and some of them might have 'gone around the block' due to our 'pooled' Ordnance stockpiles but even then, I only ever saw one LB L1A1 in British Service although Lithgow AD's were quite common. There's another LB L1A1 at Warminster

Did the LB rifle you saw in service still have the Canadian disc sight?

I've heard it said that one of the big arms vendors in Canada is sitting on over a thousand C1A1s that it can't sell. Supposedly they're ex Ontario Provincial Police rifles that were initially sold to a British dealer, then when the laws changed the lot was purchased by the Canadian vendor, who brought them back to Canada...just in time for THEIR laws to change too!
