The SLR 'Stands' came onto the market a few years ago in the UK. They were all brand new in the wrapping. Why? Because no self respecting Armourer would use anything like them!

They were a rubbish design! The Rifle would have wobbled about like a Dick in a Shirtsleeve! Any hard energy required to remove a particular component, would have made it bend Of come off the 'Stand' because all that was keeping in on. Was the Mag catch & Mag lug on the front of the Magazine!.......

I cant remember exactly, but I THINK these were available to Royal Navy Armourers. Which is why we never saw them in Army Service. And would never have used them for their intended purpose anyway!!!!..............

They would be useful now in a Civilian application though. As a Display Stand for a Deactivated L1A1 Rifle!.....................
