No the Brits and the Aussies arer not using the L1A1 anymore; however there are still lots being held in war stock reserve. Just in case, you know. Poccur, you gave the SA80 a rude noise, the original was like that, but Hecler and Koch fixed the problems for the Brits and it works a hell of a lot better. The Aussies are starting to dislike the Aug Steyr they licensed-built in Lithgow. The other member of the ABC FN, the Canadians, have placed all oftheirs in war stock reserve. I've only seen a couple of the C1A1 variant out there in the market place. They replaced theirs with the C7, a Canadian variant of the M16A2.
