    Best supplier of parts for L4's in UK?

    Ey'up!

    Any suggestions for locating small parts for the L4 while in the UKicon? Leeds area.

    Specificaly looking for 7.62 extractors plus spring and spring bar. Would also take some Mk I Bren parts sources as well.

    Cheers.

    The 7.92 extractor is identical to the 7.62 version except for the marking and the spring and stay were the same as the .303 versions.

    Are there any particular dealers who have decent stock of parts? Wouldn't mind finding a MkI butt plate with folding shoulder tab.
