Anyone got a L1A1 SLR?

That's very cool. Didn't know there was an SLR model!
Nice, I had the Airfix one back in the day, complete with rubber bayonet and plastic bullets.![]()
Had to do that with plastic rounds for CQB, but with the cocking handle. Didn't have enough oomph to work the gas parts.Isnt that a YLR![]()
i was an armourer in the late 80s early 90s and they where slowly being fazed out but as you do we played around with them , the match stick trick was quite eye opening , i was only a young fella and wasn't expecting the rideHad to do that with plastic rounds for CQB, but with the cocking handle.

Equally, didn't have enough oomph to go through the walls, so swings & roundabouts.
We could have got through in a quarter of the time if they'd managed semi-auto.
No matchsticks![]()
Me too, how strange but as soon as read the word Airfix the memory of owning it came flooding back. I must have been 10 or 11 so some 58 years ago!Nice, I had the Airfix one back in the day, complete with rubber bayonet and plastic bullets.![]()
The FN 7.62 SLR was fully auto, 3 position selector...... and a propper solid flash hider. Happy days!i think the fn version was full auto? wrong i may well be but yes matchstick was to hold a trigger sear free movement as such but no one ever see anyone do it apprently
Well that is cool.. I hadn't seen that until now
