My new Straight pull L1A1

[mrclark303]

Hi Dogone,

If you could find one exporting it could be an issue, I don't know much about Canadian firearm laws but isn't it almost impossible for you guys to own C1's?
If so, would they recognise the legal status of a SP L1A1?

I love mine to bits though...starting to be a right L1 anorak, I am collecting different forends and optics for it for it, blank firing attachments coming soon.....sad I know

Hmmm, don't know about these, I have heard about some rifles with horrible modified charging handle arrangement, the pics just aren't good enough to see...perhaps there is a reason for that!!

John the owner of CPG is going to bring one down our club so I can try before buy. I'll grab some better pics then.

I saw a converted straight pull L1A1 yesterday that had a cocking handle that looked like something out of star wars......... Well, not exactly star wars - but it was like an MG42 cocking handle on the right hand side. I asked the reason on the pretext that I was looking to buy a straight pull variant. I was told that it assisted the primary unlocking and......... and............. You know the sort of pure guff that they seem to spout.............!

If it was primary extraction he was on about, then fair one but primary extraction, such as it is on an L1A1 takes place during the lifting of the bolt.

Those are the ones. I really don't know why they have been built like that, they look absolutely horrible, and it wasn't necessary. As far as I am aware all the straight pull L1A1's are chambered in .308, and providing .308 ammunition is used and not 7.62, they extract fine (I did put about 40 rounds in four minutes through mine once on a really hot day and had to do the old trick of stand it on its butt and lean on the cocking lever, but that's the only time mine has had extraction issues). Talk about solving a problem that doesn't exist..........

I know mine (one of the original LuxDefTec/Anglo Custom Rifles ones) is a bitsa, the dummy gas block etc is a giveaway, but at least it looks authentic enough at first glance without a dirty great handle on the right hand side .

By the way, where did you see it - at the Phoenix?
