[69chris]

hey guys, thought id share a few pics of my 1961 BSA L1A1.....



its a LuxDefTec made "Anglo Custom Rifle Company" chambered in .308

came with a SUIT as well..... happy days









whilst im here, does anyone have a spare 'plug' for a SUIT kicking about ? mines been converted to an led type affair which, while it seems to work ok, i was hoping to find an original plug and re-energize using Tritium vials off ebay

Welcome to the Forum Chris. What's the story on the Type 56 and the SLR, in so much as are they live rifles? If they are live I assume that they are just straight pull single shot "affairs" or are they deacts? The SLR looks to be in excellent condition.

Nice, nice, nice rifle 69Chris...

[philb]

really like the SLR, learnt to shoot centre fire on one of those, back in the good old days before stupid gun laws

[69chris]

cheers guys

both are live fire but thanks for our laws sadly just single shot straight pull, but they are on my ticket for range use and AOLQ so both have been used in the field which makes a nice change,

the akms is a Romanian Cugir imported in 2012 and was 'distressed' by the previous owner to give it an older used look....... you either love it or hate it lol

the L1a1 was a bucket list rifle as it was the 1st semi auto center fire i ever fired as a spotty 17 year old many years ago

recently picked up a 1943 Lee Enfield no4 mk1 (Longbranch) as i have many fond memories of those whilst in the Abingdon Army cadets even more years ago, its still lovely and smooth to cycle and shoot..... one of my favorites prob lol !!!

Welcome to the L1 club and the best forum on the internet. Very nice rifle, will you be going for a set of woodwork too, or sticking with the plastic?

I have tried the Tritium Vials that can be found on the net, I found that even with the largest ones that would fit the illumination that they gave was very poor, if anyone knows where vials with a decent output can be found please let me know.
