Accuracy International L96A1 PM

[waco16]

Roy,

Just phoned a mate who has a PM and he says the same, the NSN was only put on the L96 contract, but the definitve answer to all the speculation, would be to call Nick Privett at NDP@accint.org, who would assist I'm sure.

All of the L96's supplied to Bedfordshire police (of which Promo's is one) carried the full L96A1 designation and NSN number

Ahh.......
The PM, L96 debate
Yes the Police purchased PM's from Accuracy international.
The receivers (certainly the Beds police ones) were marked CR138 GA RIFLE 7.62mm L96A1 1005-99-967-3405 on the LH side with a PM serial number on the RH side
The only differences between a military issue L96 and the Beds police rifles (at the time they were purchased) was the barrel (swirl type flash eliminator on the police rifle) and the scope/mount set up

The only difference between Promo's Beds Police PM rifle (in its current form) and a military issue L96A1 is the serial number configuration

As an interesting aside look at the way the 'Infantry' rifle is referred to in some early AI publicity material
