Sorry about the darkness:

Welcome to the club.

Looks like your L1A1 is a 1959 Enfield. That's about as Brit as you can get!

Hard to tell for sure from the photos, but it also looks like it's got a Century receiver. Some folks razz the Century receivers (and they were, indeed, trouble at times) but if yours runs well, it matters not who made it.

So, once the weather clears, how about a range report?

Thanks, mikey.
Aside from my ARs and AK, this is my first ".308" rifle. I havn't fired this one, but have several others before. Aside from gathering ammo and magazines, I been patiently waiting for the day to take it out.

Almost. Aluminum recievers should be avoided, but this isen't the case here

Received my DSA Picantinny Rail for FAL from "Nick M". I no sooner got the box in the mail, and there fore went to putting it on. As it sits here now:

I find the Century's interesting. They're not the valuable collectible, and some of them need a little work to be a good shooter, but they do come around, if the TLC is needed. Also, the varied sources that Century uses for the FAL. Looks like you've got the Brit inch-gun which is different from the metric one I got.

I do enjoy it though...except for maybe the ammo cost.

I'd be looking for divers. :-)
Maybe one of the local diving clubs is bored...
