This 'appears' to be refurbished, ex war reserve stock.
Note the three prong flash hider, Faz cocking handle etc.
A good sized batch ( thousands) went to European dealers when the war reserve L1's were disposed of.
It would be interesting to see if any of these are to the final FTR spec with late 1989 manufactured Parker Hale Barrels, Gas blocks and cocking handles.
What a waste of good rifles!
The TMH was stripped and repainted, so not just a dealer quick blow over with Matt black.
