Solving that problem may take someone with a bit more savvy than I have.

But I won't if I can help it.

Microsoft promised a package to people that bought the XBox before it dropped it's price??

I wonder if Sony is doing the same thing.

Got your attention?

Good.

Anybody out there got an image showing the detail of the SUSAT mounting on the L1A1? I could only find one crappy example:

L1a1brit.jpg

Edit: Also, check the mag; that looks like a 30 round clip. Not even sure if this Is an L1A1; Could be An Aussie, Canadian, Or maybe even Argentinian example, so details may be different?

I think they were standard issue in the Falklands war. Certainly by 1985 therey were for front line infantry units Support/Logistics had the L2A1, and Terries did without the SUSATS, I believe.

The SA80 rules! (your model and in real life). What is the zoom on the susat though? Is it 4x?

The SUSAT's magnification is fixed at x4. Hmm. be nice to know what the crosshairs look like, too.

Not really. The thing that was solved was the shadow of the muzzle flash, not actually the real muzzle flash bug.

I have seen a lot of SLR's on the streets of N Ireland (20 years worth) and I have never seen a L1A1 with the SUSAT before. Also my father-in-law was in the Falklands with 11th regiment 38th Squadron of the royal Engineers (and various other squads inc. anphil troop) and he never saw one before even in the hands of frontline squads.

The rifle in question is a license made FN FNC assault rifle modified for Sweden's sub-arctic environment equipped with the British SUSAT (Sight Unit Small Arms Trilux) with 4X magnification and a special cheek support to further stabilize the weapon.

I'm sure Ive seen photos of SLRs with SUSAT fitted. As for that rifle being an FNC. I disagree. this is an FNC:

fn-fnc.jpg

Disregard the stock, of course

30 round clips were issued by Aussies, Canucks and Argies for a heavy barrelled version (LMG), But the same magazine could be (and was) used in the standard rifle.

What cheek support?

sorry, My bad. I meant the FN-FAL.

I am not arguing that there is no FAL's with SUSAT's fitted merely that these were not issued by the british army.

Well, If I'm going to make it I'd better prove it. I can see the bloody thing in my mind's eye, and I think the photo was taken in Belfast.

Time for a visit to the library, and their copy of Janes.

The the scope on the SLR was called the SUIT rather than SUSAT if I recall correctly.

The SUSAT recticle looks like the outline of an upward pointing arrow -its point is the aimpoint
