My take on it too. @ButcherBill are you able to adapt or alter your mount/torch. just i would cut a gap between the mounting holes on the torch.

Lct sa80?.... There's ares/star, g&g, ics and AA. Never seen a lct one. And g&g & AA are only ones to make an a1 type, as far as I'm aware.

Yeah too much for me. As will never get used. Hence looking second hand or preferably a boneyard. But externally complete.

Cheers bud. Oh do tell... haha. There's a few I don't have. But I'm not going too modern either. My cut off is 2020... yes I have a sa80 A3.... but was more just to aid with the family tree. Desperate for a boneyard G&G A1. But will have to wait now. Plus if money was no object haha, then a vfc m249 and a king arms m79 blooper would be nice.

@ButcherBill No where near your legendary numbers, hahaha. But all my brit kit together. Getting it ready to take and display at NAF.

So... Managed to get hold of a replica susat shield mount and RS sight These were seen in use on UKSF sa80s and sa80 ULG's. L22's were also seen in use by UKSF. So decided to fiddle about. Added the correct sa80 surefire and the rmr mount. Weathered it all a bit. So sticking within the bounds of an accurate brit kit weapon, have made a nice naughty little cqb...

Sounds like my memoir.... hahaha. Apart from the drink. I do like a drink, but at home as its cheaper. Plus im a boring bugger too haha.

It looks like the markings have "DP" meaning it was a drill purpose weapon nefore it was deactivated. So at the time would be missing the firing pin, but would still go through all the motions when training. So would cock, chamber rounds etc. Would have had a white line sprayed around the handguard with DP marked in black on it. Obviously removed all that when sent for deactivation.

Don't fancy my chances with this one.... looks well warn out already. Hahaha On the ops question. It would be great to keep the forums going. Easy to navigate, find the right sections etc etc. I actually prefer them. But unfortunately, newer generations just want to post and move on Like with other platforms. Plus I've actually found that some people don't like forums, because you can't delete/hide negative comments. So on fb, if you make a post. You have control over who can comment etc. And still come out smelling of roses. Here, they have to face the honest truth, and can't hide from it!... Plus they can't be arsed to do the research themselves, where they can just keep asking the same 5 questions over and over hahaha. But I'm game to keep the forum as much as possible. I'd be interested to know how much it costs to run a forum. I'm not tech minded, so is a genuine interest here?

L2A1, still a wip.

Another small update. 2 more rifles and an adapted acog. First, is the L2A1 SACTARASS (semi-automatic counter terrorist assault rifle and sniper system). (HK 417) This has been seen used with uksf for many years now. With 3 different variants. 12", 16" & 20" versions. Mine is a vfc 12" version with a surefire suppressor and acog. It's current set up as seen in a few reference pics that have been floating about. The acog has also had to be adapted. So the uksf were known for sticking with the TA01, but with the RMR. Meaning it has an off set front sight and larue mount. For airsoft, they never done this. Meaning I've had to pretty much butcher 2 acogs to make one. A box standard TA01, then a TA31 rco for the RMR and off set front sight blade. Second weapon is the L80A1 (MP5K) This has been In Service for decades. So nothing special to really report here. There was another version of the MP5K, that had its sights removed!... This was known as the L90A1.

Just to let you guys know. Andy Stevens, who owns UCAP finally succumbed to his illness, and sadly passed today. R.I.P Andy.

Oh man... I'd be all over that bren (price depending) and me being me would have to pay with it, and convert to a L4...

Is it the steel slide or aluminium slide variant? Either way, good find. Very rare these days.

Cheers bud. Yeah, not sure why we didn't, specially as we had the 6x acog in use/stores. As for vfc kick. I wouldn't know, as this is the aeg version, not gbb.
