    Source for L1A1 furniture in the U.K. (or States)?

    Just fled the Arizona heat for another lovely summer in Englandicon, and shopping for an L1A1 handguard set in the black pebble grain. Looking for a source, even in the States for that matter, as I'll be sending them to Mark at ARS for a build he doing for me. He had five sets, just my bad luck getting the kit/receiver together too late. Appreciate any leads. Cheers, Don

    Mark bought all of his from me at SAR several years ago. I still have a few sets here I think.

    I bought a Set for my L1A1 at a Gun Show at Dallas Market Hall, several years ago for $25 It however did not include the Wood Carrying Handle, I am still looking for one of those, I'll try at the Links posted above.

    Get a plastic carrying handle, burn the plastic off it and make a wood handle up on a lathe. Simple to make up a look-a-like ferrule for the end retainer. After all, it ain't going nowhere!
