Complete IWS Kit for the L1A1 Rifle (and others)

[Peter Laidler]

L42 mounts aren't contained within the IWS kit. It is kept in the L42 chest. The AR15/M16 was not issued with the kit either - UNLESS it was a request from the recipient unit who had a need for the bracket. Such as Marines etc etc who had AR15's/M16's. When it wasn't issued with the kit, the CES was amended so that storemen and others on the QM's staff didn't go chasing around for one. They are quite uncommon. The kit shown above is the norm, as issued.

There's a reason who original L42 brackets were taken out of the kits before disposal and why originals are quite rare/scarce.
