The M14 with the Sage International chassis is cheap, although not that rare, I have one.

Thanks for the links!

Just to get back onto SP L1A1 (SLR) topic, a visit to the Trafalgar arms fair today, a trader had 2 ex Suffolk built L1A1's one with wood furiture the other Plastic, both scuffy looking, now no price tags seen so I asked the question how much? his reply they are now rare so £2800 each Bl***Y he**
they were only £1900 newly built, someone hopes to make a huge profit......

£2,800 sounds steep, but £2,000-£2,200 sounds reasonable. There aren't many out there.

How long was the queue to buy them ? That's the true measure of their value...

And some poor soul will part with it, shatter the dream or get it out of their system on so it goes on.

So just out of interest who made all the FALs/L1A1's out there and do we know how many of each were made?

These are the figures that spring to mind -

1) Sabre Defence - IMBEL FALS (2005-2008) - 20-30
2) Anglo Custom Rifles - L1A1's (2010-2011) - 40
3) Suffolk Rifles - L1A1's - (2014-2015) - ??
4) AR Buckland - L1A1's (2014-2016) - ??

Have I missed any RFDs out? Also can anyone fill in the gaps or corroborate any of the above info?

Suffolk Rifles and Buckland are the wrong way round, Suffolk was selling them this year maybe 20-25 total.

Buckland not sure as a lot were returned.

Anglo Custom Rifles made that amount that is a surprise, I have never seen one.
