Update....
So, these next two have been on my search list for a very long time.
So, first up
L131A1.... (Glock 17 gen 4)
So this pistol eventually replaced the ageing L9 browning, with the gen 3 being in service with the sas before that!.
Mine, is the very early fully traded and hard to find Stark Arms/VFC gen 4 glock.
What makes this stand out over other brand glocks, is the markings!. So the later umarex/vfc , tm/guarder and GHK glocks, all come with the U.S glock markings.
The Stark Arms comes with the correct European markings and German proof marks as found on the real L131A1.
The only other brand close to this is the early WE fully traded glocks. Only issue with the WE glocks are, that the lower and upper look and marked a gen 4. But the recoil spring is still the slim Gen 3 type.
I have also fitted real sights and lanyard adaptor, along with a replica QR code as also seen ok British glocks.
Only thing left to do on mine is get the L131 and NSN details engraved on the lower.
Top 2 pics are from the real L131
Last pic is mine.
2nd one is
L104A1 (HK69)
This was brought in for use in Northern Ireland to fire smoke and baton rounds.
Then was later used in Iraq.
And believe it still in use at the moment, as one pic was posted of it in use last year with a red dot as a rear sight.
Mine is the hard to find original CAW HK69
When I got this, was sprayed all green. Took it back to normal, then weathered it.
Also fitted real sights.
In the process of getting some parts 3d printed to get it running again.
Then looking at getting correct markings added.
Top pic is of it in use.
Bottom is mine.
