There are four lengths of L1A1 butt pad - S, M, L and XL.
A number of people sell them, start with a Google search for "L1A1 butt pad"

I understood that these single shot/hand cocking L1A1's had newly made, unported barrels. That can't be the case with this PH made L1A1 barrel, complete with bog standard, presumably ported, gas block. Or is this a genuine, bog standard L1A1? It'll be interesting to see whether the wobbly backsight slide rides up the bed when it's fired
I had a gas-ported, heavier and longer barrel fitted to my genuine hand cocking L85 SA80 rifle and the fact seemed to raise a few eyebrows even though I had a manufacturers non-ported gas block fitted.
Peter, It isnt clear if this is a hand cocker, or a standard issue L1A1. I note the owner lives in Slovinia, the Firearm Ownership Laws may well be different there? You see an awfull LOT of AK47's there!......................

It's not one of ours, looks like a genuine one
I bet you a packet of jelly babies the backsight stays put
Do you still have the L85?

I just bought one
hand cocker - sorry. my English language skills... What means hand cocker? a kind of straight pull Repeater?
My L1A1 is a genuine semi-auto rifle without any "civil intervention", except CIP Stamps.
Otherwise, semiauto is in Slovenia allowed for sport shooters, prohibited are rifles, there are in active use in SLO Army. Full Auto is allowed for collectors only.
Collector can not go to the shooting range with a full auto, except that he has asked and get a license from "the Officials" for "research purposes trials" .
To buy for collectors only

The cocking handle then is used not only to cock it, but to extract and feed the next round
Thanks for explanation.

I got lucky, I paid around £17 for mine a couple of months ago.
There are a couple of people looking for them on FalFiles.com
