When was the last L42 withdrawn from MoD service?

[Lee Enfield]

How their Police, transport "Loaded" weapons to the provinces. Look for the British Marked (snowpaked) SLR's slung over the shoulders in the video.
This probably does them an injustice, but there are a bucket full of training issues with this short film, and reflects the state of things there. I'm afraid they would all be jailed if I was IC weapons party:

Those are all Indian IA1 rifles (independently invented in India by the way). Notice the metric type metal end cap on the front of the butt stock.

I would suggest that that is a colour party of some type heading off to a performance/ceremony.

Not a single spare magazine nor ammunition in evidence - likely none of the guns are actually loaded, and all are "known" to be un-loaded, having been previously checked, by "someone"...

We will take that with a healthy dose of sarcasm as I am sure it was intended ... the 1A1 cross breed mutt, is the result of direct and total rip off of Fn's copyright's, perhaps by blending Metric and Inch design features they though they would get away with it!

They didn't, were forced to eventually pay some money to Fn and place orders for inch pattern (and metric?) rifles as part of the agreed settlement.
