That sling is identical to one I bought for my jungle carbine.
Interesting that the British Army issued you a cleaning kit. I don't ever remember one issued to me in the US Army. Instead we had these basecamp cleaning stations with nasty cleaning solvent in a slice of oil drum and some community cleaning rods.

As I said, it was issued , well before I was involved. Each soldier had the full facility to clean and maintain his personal weapon. A lot of the kit was interchangeable with the GPMG if needed too..............

Yes yes,
You are going for the accessories first. Now you NEED the rifle. Very clever.
I love that the cleaning kit is original original.

Re: L1A1 SLR (FAL)
Since I don't reload, this is the best way for me to buy 308/7.62x51 ammo.
This is South Korean 1980s surplus, but I have also bought German and Malaysian
surplus too. All is great stuff for the price. Although I doubt they ship to France.
Of course it's always cheaper to buy 1000 rnds at a time, so 2 cans of this would
be .48¢ a round delivered to my house. Can shoot a lot at that price.......

Re: L1A1 SLR (FAL)
I wish Vern............. Plenty of .308W 146 gr available here at around 175€ / $196 per 200 box. That's $0.98 a round.
I might find some slightly cheaper but I like to reload as it allows me to get just the right charge.
Some brass is on it's way from blackisler so at least I can make up some rounds before I get the rifle.

Re: L1A1 SLR (FAL)
At a dollar a round to shoot it's a wonder the rifles are still growing in price and not the reverse. And considering the milsurp is probably berdan primed, and difficult to reload, it's unbelievably expensive ammunition.

Re: L1A1 SLR (FAL)
Some of my surplus is berdan and some boxer, depending on where it's made.
