Those T-shirts? Still on hold, sorry. Since that I am back from Iraq, hopefully we'll have someting sooner than later.

So watch for info on the L1A1 gear! Maybe hats, stubby holders to follow? Who knows.

1. The "L1A1 Armourer" is a website dedicated to the history and preservation of the "Inch Pattern" FN FAL rifle and Light Automatic Rifles known as the "Rifle, 7.62mm FN (C1)A1",  "Rifle, Auto FN (C2)A1",   "Rifle, 7.62mm L1A1", and "Automatic Rifle, 7.62mm L2A1".

2. In one model or another, used by England, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, plus many other countries worldwide. We can even include the Indian Ishapore "Rifle, 7.62mm 1A1" bastardised version too!

3. C.A.L's FN (C1)A1 was in service from 1956-1990 in Canada, and the S.A.F.-L L1A1 SLR from 1959-1990 in Australia.

a) Brief summaries of the latest postings from our msg board and the latest pics too. Ensure you check 'em out.

So, add your own pics, or just have a squizz. This website is only as good as we all make it. 

c) Also inside, you'll find current affairs, on topics such as "When Australian animals attack 1 and 2",  and "International Terrorism" which effects us here, and from an Australian prospective at that.
