Built on an Australian Lithgow Small Arms Factory (SAF) L1A1A receiver, a semi-automatic only version of the L1A1 Self Loading Rifle (SLR) for export to the United States, with a British Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF) Enfield L1A1 parts set. Approximately 175-200 Lithgow SAF L1A1A rifles total were ever imported, with this example marked by Eden International. Features winged blade front and adjustable flip up rear peep sights, long flash hider with bayonet lug, adjustable gas system, folding charging handle, SUIT optic base top cover, extended magazine release, and polymer carrying handle. Marked "RIFLE. 7-62 mm. LI.AI. A" on the left side of the receiver and with "EDEN INTL/PALM BAY, FL" and "S.A.F. 860020/AUSTRALIA" on the right side. The lower receiver is marked "64 ED," the gas block and bolt carrier "ED 61," and the bolt "ED/95," with non-matching numbers. Fitted with black textured synthetic buttstock, pistol grip and vented handguard. Includes a web sling and L2A2 Sight Unit Infantry Trilux (SUIT) 4x prism scope, which was developed in the United Kingdom and manufactured by Avimo Ltd. (now called Thales UK) as an infantry optic for the L1A1 SLR, and also used by Australia and New Zealand. Provenance: The Jon M. Maxwell Collection

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine as professionally assembled, retaining 90% parkerized and black finishes with scattered light edge wear, limited minor dings, and limited chipping. The stock is excellent with light handling evidence. The scope is also excellent with clear optics. The bolt catch needs adjustment, otherwise mechanically excellent.
