Hi Paul and Dirtbag,

Sorry for the wait guys, please find attached pics with measurements, if you fancied making one "Blue Peter" style!

The "gas on" slot in the top is 2mm by the way.

Cheers, John.

Thanks for taking the trouble John. I see how they deactivated the plug.

To be honest, it looks a fairly simple job to knock up a dummy on a Lathe and Mill.

Never having taken the real gas plug off an L1A1, how is it retained in the gas block/sight housing?

Cheers.

Paul
