At long last!... my first L1A1..

[fernleaf]

After a two month wait for the appropriate license to arrive so I can own one of these, I bought this rifle a few weeks ago.

This is how it looked when I picked it up...









...and this is how it looks after I put a Slaz 64 handguard on it - I think I prefer the earlier handguard, but it lives with the MA70 round one it came with on it. Buttstock is MA73.



Lithgow 1961 vintage, other than having the wood changed out it hasn't been refurbished. No doubt it is ex-NZDF, having the NZ Pattern carry handle...

Accuracy seems to be 'about right' - 4 inch group shot supported from a bench at 100m, but I wonder if it can do a bit better than that - there is a lot of side to side wobble in my rear sight.....
