L96A1 manufacturer

[Peter Laidler]

I seem to recall that only PARTS of the old L96 were sub contracted out. And this was said to be the problem. AI didn't have full control of the quality or the material or the machining and finish of the out-sourced material. Won't say any more because............ But the flaws proved to be, er........, catastrophic. So just make sure that if you own and shoot an L96, the serial number is suffixed by the letter C.

Notice how judicious I have been with my reply? Anyone else giving an answer ought to be as careful
