I just wish we could get an L86 handguard and a 20" barrel to make an LSW!

I was one of the first to buy the kit, and I was grinning ear-to-ear when I finished it. I also bought one of the Murdoch flash hiders. Now, I need that updated pistol grip and a bayonet.

2025-11-19 23:58:01 +0000 UTCI looked up the Murdock L85, and since it costs 10 times as much as this gun, yeah I'm good

2025-11-19 16:32:04 +0000 UTCcould even be lighter than the original using the brownells. furniture may be better, too. NOT a gazillion screws as so many conversions. NICE. well done! I actually do like the looks of the 85 irons but who ever really used those. ar grip looked off but could feel fine on that. can see that they would sell those like sliced bread stateside.

2025-11-19 16:18:43 +0000 UTCThis is on my list (its a long expensive list) of guns to get. There must be surplus SUSATs given how long they had been in service or am I wrong? L1A1 SUIT scopes came in by a boatload in the 90s.
