  1. Apologies for going off topic, and Mods pls remove if you think necessary, but with hindsight should we have kept a few of the SLR's for the "DMR" role?

    I'm only a civve that airsofts, but I've target shot air rifles and .22 rimfire, so I have a basic understanding of shooting accurately at range. Can any of you guys with realtime military service please tell me if the old SLR would be of benefit to troops in Afghanistan at the moment? It certainly seems to be a comfortable weapon to accurately lay down long range fire, with a 7.62 full stopping capability. I understand the SA80 was the weapon of choice for the urban conflict but I think we should have kept the SLR in service.

  2. I've finally got hold of a KA L1A1, and was wondering if anyone has attempted to fit the wooden furniture to one? I've seen the parts on Ebay but I'm going to pop in and see a local gunsmith to see what he can get hold of and any advice he can come up with. I appreciate i'll have to hollow out the stock but might switch to lipo batteries to save space.

    Any thoughts or advice would be very welcome.
