I'm assuming that price includes postage?

I've found two sets listed on Firestorm's website;

One with 6 rifles for AU$8.50

https://firestormmodels.com/SLR-Set/

One with 9 rifles for AU$12.00

https://firestormmodels.com/SLR-Weapons/

They've used the same image for both, though;

Firestorm is the only mob I know of which still does L1a1 SLR rifles.  Italerie did a FN-FAL fully automatic version of the L1a1 which had the grenade launcher muzzle brake and a reciprocating cocking handle on it.  Which is similar but not quite the same.

Bravo 6 does them, but they're a Russian manufacturer & I'm a touch loathe to promote their (actually very good) products while Vlad the Psychopath is trying to recreate the Russian Empire / USSR, with a touch of Nazi/Chinese genocide thrown in.

The Russians need no pointers from the Nazis and China on genocide:

The Dragon Vietnam Weapons set had the good ol' SLR, only 2 though if I recall correctly
it is getting to be a might hard to find, but might pop up at a swap meet



as an aside, it is also one of the only sources of the Australian F1 submachine gun.

I didn't know about that particular episode but I was aware of anti-Jewish & anti-Ukrainian pogroms (plus others) during the Imperial & Stalinist eras.

Ah. the F1 a favourite for the kiddies.  I used to enjoy instructing on the F1.  Regularly chopped down Figure 11 targets with them at the range.

I might have one of these in my stash in storage.  Next time to go there I'll bring home the Italeri and other 1/35 parts sets.
