awesome... so what’s the criteria for inc which British weapon and which one you leave out (eg Bren, sten, MP5K) is it post war only?

Thank you.

Yeah all post war.
Wouldn't say no to a bren either way though, sexy thing.

obviously it's taken years to get as it is, and will probably take a few more, as lots of weapons still to get or make.
I've got a L110 which isn't pictured. Just having some welding and bits done.

But overall still after a few things, like sterling, l85 carbine, L22 etc. And that's just issued stuff, uksf list is massive...... sig 228, 229, various glocks,

Plus there are a few brit weapons in the making at the moment. a few pictures surfaced on social media of a company making a L129 sharpshooter, L119A2 out the box etc. Plus also WE releasing the mk3 browning.But since covid alot has gone hush hush.

This all looks brilliant, I love it. The L85 carbine though, was that ever more than a prototype which actually became the L86?

Cheers bud.

I'm not to sure as some people say they saw it.. some say no.
but I personally have never seen any pics of the carbine in use.
I know the L22 was used by tankies and even uksf.

I thought The L86 is the LSW.

It is but I think it was bourne out of the carbine prototype, they certainly have the same handguard.

Yeah mate. Sounds interesting. Was it this version I've done here or the later looking one?

[gorilla]

It was the later variant and it had the SUrefire torch mount- the same as the MP5 version but obviously bigger. Also had an eotech as the sight
