I like the SA80

[David TS]

What was the basis for taking it? The L98 would never have been a S5 firearm.

Way too long a story to even scratch the surface of, and much of it is sub judice.

I think we should appreciate someone not wanting to go into detail on something such as this and I can imagine it's not a section 1 vs section 5 issue but following the gist of the thread, how an allegedly only military owned firearm made it onto civvie street.

I think the previous posts illustrate how that's perfectly feasible. Makes you wonder how far such illogical thinking could go? Reclaiming L42's?

Hope it all gets sorted for you David.

There's talk that some of the more 'interesting' L1A1 straight pull conversions have now been investigated.
