I heard that Suffolk Rifle was the last and he's now closed.

Sweet mother of god, they're the ugliest, most b****** L1A1's I've ever seen in my life. At £1,000 each, I'd suggest they're £1,000 over priced.

Yes they are. I returned a .308 one to Buckland and had a refund. This was before CPG Design took them over from Buckland. I seem to remember another member on here bought the same rifle from CPG design but soon returned it for something else. I would keep clear not very well built. :bad:
Not sure who is building them now, parts kits hard to find. Oakrise Arms did list them made by LDT in Luxembourg but this seems to have dried up. They do come up second hand from time to time, top prices being asked.
