OLD!!!!!
Thanks for that Peter …………….
As these weapons are manually operated and will require to be cocked more often,
I would look at getting a spare stud for the cocking handle, possibly a spare cocking handle (depending on how worn the “original” one is )
Full set of wood furniture and a Hythe rear sight, (to blend in with the regiments shooting team)
I remember….. (its hard when your this OLD)
I did change/re-rivet quite a few rats tails (return spring rod on the carrier) due to them been bent, it could have been an Artillery thing.
We got rid of the last of our L1A1s in the mid 1990s at the Guards Depot. They used them as enemy/demonstration weapons.
The Depot was also one of the first units to get the L85A1 (SA80) there was a lot less work to do on the old SLR’s

Hi Peter,
Pretty good advice as I had been giving some thought already on what spares would be good to carry as well as finding a Gunsmith capable of working on the L1A1.
I had bookmarked SAF Lithgow and Numrich Gun Parts having done a search and found that they both held quite extensive parts for the L1A1, hopefully both will ship to the UK. The next thing was to try and establish what would be good to carry as spares but I wanted to wait and see what parts had been changed in the L1A1's that we will be getting to establish if Inch or Metric parts would be needed. I also have the AGI FN FAL DVD which is a great source of info regarding stripping the rifle and should be of benefit should I need to carry out any minor repairs. There are a couple of sites in the US selling the manuals and once again, I am awaiting info regarding shipping to the UK.
Cheers
Tony

SAF Lithgow will not ship to the UK, Numrich will but put a $25 handling fee onto international orders and like most US sites will not ship over $100 worth at a time. Brad at gunthings .com will ship, but has a limited number of parts, I've just received my butt removal tool from him, took about a week.
Good hunting,
Daryl

If your going to remove these:-
Extractor (1005-99-960-2320)
Plunger, Extractor (1005-99-960-2323)
Spring Extractor (1005-99-960-2105)
Then you are going to need one of these

Ah yes tankhunter … but at this age the mind wanders….
With everyone wanting to remove their extractors, it could be a good time to get all my armourers to complete there “trade test” and produce the extractor removing tool….
Also people may need rear sight screws and “Z” springs..
You could try DS-Solutions in Kent for some SLR spares and tools. The web site is under construction (again) but if you ask they may have what you want..
