Description:

Extremely rare commercial production Australian L1A1 semi-automatic rifle manufactured by the Lithgow Small Arms Factory for export to the United States, and subsequently been converted to an L2A1 with folding forearm/bipod and a Trilux L2A2 4x scope. Only approximately 175-200 total L1A1 rifles were ever imported. The rifle is an inch-pattern L1A1, FN-FAL rifle. This rifle features a coachwood stock and pistol grip. The rifle has the Enfield style buttplate with trap, bolt with 'sand-cuts' and folding cocking handle which are unique to British and Australian L1A1 FN-FAL rifles. The barrel has the long flash hider with a lug for a knife bayonet. The barrel, frame and receiver have a phosphate finish. The right side of the frame is stamped: "AD65 209". The right side of the receiver is marked: "S.A.F. 850134/AUSTRALIA" in two lines below the ejection port. The opposite side of the receiver is stamped: "RIFLE, 7.62 mm, L1A1A" with a faint importer mark behind the marking. Includes 3 extra magazines and a rubberized magazine pouch.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as converted, retaining 99% plus original phosphate finish with limited handling marks. The forearm and pistol grip are both very good with a few minor dings and handling marks, and the carry handle shows scuffing and scratching. The buttstock is good with a 4 1/2 inch crack on both sides. Last round hold open needs repair or replacement, otherwise mechanically excellent.
