I think you just set yourself two forum challenges

What made this even better, is my wife bought it for me (...or more to the point approved of the buy, with my money in her account...)...
She said no more guns for 2 years... yeh right

Ha ha ha ha I reckon I would have a boner for a week if I was reunited with one of those. Barefoot has a couple in his family circle and has threatened to reintroduce me but it is yet to happen.

You probably can't even remember how to get to the range it's been so long,.

Love mine...someone keeps threating to take it off me. He knows who he is.

A chance would be a fine thing. Anyway I thought you still had fire concerns

Ok, thought a better picture with the Valmet 308 was due for a bit of Walnut & Steel comparison... very happy with it.
The wife even had a fondle, said it was heavy and smells funny... that's pretty cool, considering she has never even looked twice at anything else...

1961 Lithgow L1A1 SLR

Good on ya. Of course I only have my A Cat so I will have to do it without touching it. I better brush up my Uri Geller skills.

@Rushy any fire concerns went out the window after all the wet weather through the first half of Jan.

I have to say a L1A1 is a fine looking rifle.... I used to like fondling my uncles one now alas....no more ...stupid e-cat rules

I hated the ones we had in service. Trashed by over cleaning, constant stoppages, inaccurate.
I used one out of a helicopter prior to joining the Army which was in better condition than some of the ones we were issued.
Never liked them to be honest.

Yeah i have fired a couple of trashed ex-army L1A1s, they had been to hell and back. It also seems that some of the armourers didn't know how to set head space. My L1A1 was ex air force and in great condition (probably only been through a few barrels). Never missed a beat. To be honest as much as I love L1A1's my G1 (German issue FAL) was a far better quality rifle complete with chrome bore. This would have been my choice as a combat rifle.
