The SA80A1 assault rifle (L85A1) entered service in 1985, replacing the venerable L1A1 SLR (7.62x51mm NATO) as the British military's standard assault rifle. Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, with a magazine capacity of 30 rounds, the SA80A1's ammunition was less powerful but lighter and easier to carry in high quantities than its predecessor. Most front-line SA80A1s were fitted with SUSAT (Sight Unit Small Arms, Trilux) scopes, with 4x magnification, making for an accurate, albeit heavy weapon. This item is in as issues condition and in very good order all over. Fitted with SUSAT Sight, Good Bore, No major marking on Synthetic stock. A very difficult rifle to find in New Zealand these days!
