    raexcct2,

    Can't speak for C310 but I came to the same conclusion you did about the L4A3 kits. At a minimum you will need a front section from a MGS Mk II kit. From the pictures It seems everything forward of the mag well is scrap. If you check out the link below there are pics of worse cuts than shown in Sarco's ad. I thought about using IO Mk II kit, rebuilding to semi then machining the mag well area for the FAL mag. But then you are really paying $600 for the ejector block and a few barrel fittings and still don't have the barrel.

    Good luck with your knee replacement I've had two. I feel your pain

    As far as "How to" The link below is where it is at:

    Got Deal & Steals regarding L4a3 kits and Bren builds for rebuilding to semi info.

    Bingo!! It's a sad state of affairs but the now-active import destruction regs pretty much have killed off the idea of re-buildable parts kits for almost everything.

    The "good news" is that all of the earlier imported kits are all out there still.......and I'd venture to say that probably 95% of those who bought one never end up trying to build it.

    So true. I still have two of the Interordnance 3 cut demilled Mk2 Bren kits and will probably use one of these to build the L4A3 as .303 surplus ammo is scarce and new .303 ammo is expensive.
