What better way of modifying something!!
Thanks must always go out to Peter Laidlericon and his team at Warminster over those difficult years, for keeping the pressure on the manufacturers on behalf of the practitioners at the sharp end IMHO
With the ongoing investment in (and new production of receivers etc) the L85 Gil, I can see it serving on past 2025, probably until 2030...

All that's needed now is new manufacture TMH's and we can effectively build up "new" rifles.
