L1A1 (and others) shoot

[mrclark303]

Very well put indeed , I agree fully with your sentiments, unfortunately, laws are seldom written for the benefit of all, but are aimed at the lowest pond scum and stupidest in society.

As a result, the rest of us, the law abiding decent people, are forced to live with the consequences of poor "vote winning" politically driven legislation

Hi John,

Sounds like you had a good day, if only that range was closer I would join you.
Just seen the pic 3 L1A1's in wood and SUIT's fitted very nice...

A M1 Garand nice, took mine last saturday to Bisley all I got asked was does it do the ping, can we hear it.

Charlie303 had the M1 long what do you think. Will never sell mine now in tiger stripped blonde wood 50's dated. Operation is super slick, do you reload I'm using up some FNM factory ammo bought some years ago, then reloading the brass

Cheers Neil, great day out mate, much needed break from the office!

Chalies Garand was wonderful, they always are mate, this and the M14 are both on my long term shopping list when I have the money!

There certainly seems to be a few SP L1A1's getting around. I suppose the SUIT sight has a certain 'thing' about it but its ability to retain its zero with its suspect mount on that cover after being bumped about on a patrol or in the back of a 432 or lorry was its drawback. Said many times, but we thought SUIT stood for Shooter Undoubtedly In Trouble!

I bedded my Maltby No4 as per your step by step instructions Peter, absolutely spot on, impressively tight groups!

Many thanks indeed..
