FIRST L1A1!!

Well she is home here are a few pics.....same rifle NEW LOCATION!!









Now I have made just a few changes, one is as you can see the scope mount rail cover has been removed and the correct inch cover installed, I am sure you have already noticed, BUT I will tell ya anyway just so you don't strain your eyes, NO REAR SIGHT! Guy wasn't sure if he did receive one or his son removed it, he is checking on it for me.

That's pretty much for now, BUT I must say I was shocked how good the rifle actually looked FTF, this thing is in SUPER condition compared to pics. Looks ALL original finish except receiver seems to be park only as well as the barrel being park only! The barrel was neutered just behind the threads, the key-way grove is about 3/4 there, bore looks EXCELLENT!!

40 rounds fired thru her and they were FLAWLESS!!

So with that said I am very happy with my FIRST L1A1!

I have an extra inch rear sight assembly you can have but you will have to get it refinished to match. Very nice rifle!

You know that little black dress doesnt work for me, she needs some Aussie class on her!!!
A full set of NOS Aussie furniture and she would look simply gorgeous!
Okay, so I am a wee bit biased towards the Aussies...so sue me!

Seriously thats a very nicely done L1A1!!!

I know, let's abolish the Fed, get out of the u.n. and kick them out of the country, close our borders and deport all illegals, bring every military member back home and close all foreign military bases.
Cut ALL tax rates personal and business to 11%, abolish all unconstitutional federal agencies.
It'll hurt but it would help us as a country.

Obviously a debanned century l1a1 sporter. Hence the cut barrel on an imbel receiver. Just get it rethreaded and throw a real flash hider on there. It looks better The one I used to own was fine exept my barrel timing being off which was an easy fix. They used some nice british kits on those guns.
