SA80/L85 Butt pad, a question for those who have served

#1 Post by Charlotte the flyer »

I finally got hold of one of the L98s on Friday. Took it to the range Sat and discovered that I've grown since last firing one 20+ years ago. Louise in particular struggled with stock length hence this question: Is there more than one option for the butt pad or is the rifle one size fits all? I don't know how/where I'd get one from but knowing the answer will save me from a possible futile quest.

One size fits all.

How about a picture of the L98?

One size fits all. You have to move the sight on the rails, in order to get correct eye relief.

Thanks :wave:

It's currently being cleaned (I leave Hoppes in overnight after shooting), I'll post a pic when it's back together later today.

:twisted: :o :lol:
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

I want to play dress up with it first. Pics when it resembles an A2 Afghan UOR ACOG/RIS spec rifle.
