| I think a small number may still be in naval service in shipboard armories, mainly as line throwing guns. A lot of the small number of FALs remaining in service in most Western countries that had them survive and serve on in this capacity. |

And the other parts may be L1A1 parts or who knows, depends what Century had that week... yep. might be anything, Imbel, Imbel inch, Imbel half inch reciever and any old parts.....Brit, Aussie, Indian, etc. I have an inch Imbel with the Inch mag cut. Quite happy with it after I replaced the locking shoulder that was ground on by the Century monkeys to headspace and would start walking out. An oversized LS ordered and done. |

Some time in the 2000s they were all destroyed. Cdn government won’t sell surplus guns/parts these days. |

I have an Imbel that is all inch cut except the lightening cuts. ARS does a pretty good 95% of British cuts. Mine is UB57 parts so I may send it to him. |
