They were proper rifles, not like the Mattel toys they call the C7 and family now.

I thought you lot weren't allowed to own playthings like those anymore?

Note the mildew on the carrying handle. It hasn't seen much sunshine in the past few years!

I used to own a Lithgow L1A1 and converted it using Canadian parts so that it would look the part of its Canadian cousin.
I had to change the carry handle, breechblock carrier, top cover and sight and voila, one C1.
The Aussie version uses a serrated type handle and a breech block carrier that is grooved w/ sand grooves, apparently to aid in function in dirty environments. [/B]
