Great video, just a shame it has that top rail. Does anyone remember the Airfix ones in the 70's that fired those plastic bullets.

Anyone who served on operation banner in the late 70s will tell you the SLR with the wooden stock was one of the best weapons ever issued to the British Army

Like. A browning high power now please

Look alike with the real thing, "the toilet roll".

I have never misplaced my gas plug said anyone...

I fired the 7-62 version (SLR) until it was replaced by the SA80 (L85). It was a fantastic gun, a little heavy with a reasonable kick. Pretty accurate too. I must say that the BB version looks accurate apart from the rail on top which the UK version never had. Based on your video I might consider buying one.

0:55 - That crow crowing: in birdspeak, isn't it saying "Nice. Is that 7.62mm NATO or 4.5mm BB?" And isn't it just asking for it... 😉 On first sight, I almost had a hard-on for it. But it's a bit too deviated from the L1A1 for my liking. Really hate the Picatinny rail. Can it take a bayonet? The belt fed pellet arrangement that you spoke of is in the Umarex (?) Beretta PX4.

Should sell them in US

Why can I only find a silly short version online

You Lucky Bastard! Nice air gun...I wish we could get these in the States. Thank you!

I was in the UK TA in the early 80's. Our main weapon was the L1A1 SLR. I am fairly sure it weighed around 9 lbs unloaded, so the one you have is probably around half the weight. I used to love the smell of cordite of a morning, lol. Oh for the days of my youth.......

Your #1 is mine too with the Luger a close second.... Have a good New year Mr and Mrs. Reeves 😁👍👍👍👍👍

After carrying a real one for nearly twenty years I`ve always wanted my own. Best rifle ever. Decomisioned ones are £1000`s. Looking for a replica but the slight differences with this one are just a bit too much. But thats just me being fussy. The airsoft version is good but because of the stupid laws in this country I can`t have one of those on the wall because I`m not a member of an airsoft club. I am also waiting to see if Umarex come out with one. Glad you enjoyed it though.

Looks can be deceiving,looks awesome ,sounds lame!!!!!!!!

I'm about the same age as you and grew up with catapult and air rifles/pistols back then you had a GAT gun pistol which was a jerk pistol then a couple of BSA pistols but I never took them seriously to the point of being shot by a couple playing extreme cops and robbers (we didn't have PlayStation back then) but bought one of these today and I'm impressed

Is there no way to 'Shim' up the sights?...think I'd remodel it if it was mine

Interesting but not sure.😮

Good morning, Here's a comment I found: After several refuelings, the pressure gauge exploded to 100. It broke in half under the second seal ring, where the material is thinnest, and landed on the frame of the door. I went to the gunsmith next to me, and he told me the filler hose is dangerously thin. Additionally, the cocking handle screw is made of very flimsy material and starts to loosen every 15-20 cycles! What do you think please?

Loved it I still remember how it feels cradled in my arms .

Very inacurate,it seems.

Mines much more accurate with the red dot on top than it is with open sights , I love this rifle, good review on it thnk you.

All the ones I see have the short barrel

Very interesting, the shape very similar to the old SLR which I a shot at Strensall in the 1980s 7.62mm, even though I shot left handed it was nice to handle.

It would blow your mind if you tried a pcp air rifle in terms of accuracy.

BBs are terrible for bouncing though and they like to break glass

Nice one shot real one long time ago

Great video 👍

Shezz Reeves how many airguns do you own !!?

Hi, great video, I have just got this pistol and I noticed you said you super glued the spring on the magazine. I haven’t found a spring did you mean the screw at the front ? Cheers, Roger.

I am literally DYING for An SVD Dragonov one of these been wanting for so long now

Even folding stock vfc version stupid money UK 750

I bet it cheaper than vfc gbbr version in UK less 500

I fired one of those in 7.62 mm in South Africa where it was known as the R1.Quite a popular military rifle although not as popular now .

hi mate great vid as always. i cant understand being a rifle why the power is so low, this is why i will never buy one..

Looks more like an L1A1 (the SLR) than a FAL. The only FAL bit seems to be the cocking handle - the L1A1 had a folding cocking handle, not the 'sticky out FAL type, so that it didn't catch on clothing or webbing. It also has a Picatinny type rail on the cover, rather than the smooth FAL or L1A1 type - Looks goof though!

Im tempted to buy one looks like a nice rifle

Imagine how quick the local constabulary would pop round if that was the real thing

It just needs the recoil of the SLR, oh and if your wore glasses, the line of chips in the lens from the rear sight Happy days on the range 🙂

Nice one 👍 it's a long time since I used the real one, 45 years to be precise 😏

In all honesty to me it looks like a long black pointy thing; no character or personality but at the same time a bunch of fun 👍

Flashback to the 1960s when I had an FAL made by Airfix that shot plastic bullets about 6 feet...... this one is definitely a tad better 😁👍

What kind of springs have you been using?

What kind of springs have you been using?

Is this range finder shock proof for rifle calibers or, it is only for the air rifles? Tnx

Umarex used to make a pellet blow back one . But they stopped making it for some reason. There are still reviews of it on RUclips.

I collect mine tomorrow. But if I'd have known it a) had a stupid magazine b) is not strippable and c) not even blowback, I maybe woundn't have bothered. Why can't they do for the L1A1 what they did with the Crossman SBR??? There is a brilliant gbb Airsoft version. Only my deep affection for this gun after 1000s of rounds of .762 glory is keeping my interest. At least it looks good on the outside (mostly) . Also curse you for beating me to the first review lol

Novità assoluta🎉🎉🎉🎉 complimenti la seguo sempre🎉🎉🎉 Pero non ha risposto ad una mia domanda nel video su h e k e mp5 aspetto risposta con interesse

Ridiculous that your government doesn't trust citizens to have full auto BB Guns.

No full auto BB guns in the UK ? That just blows my mind, the thing is a toy. Why do you let your government make stupid laws? Don't citizens have any input to be represented?

Take a look at the VFC Airsoft gas blow back Fal 😁 I've just acquired one The one you just reviewed looks similar to an electric Airsoft SA58 by a company called Jing gong 😁 I did look at buying one of these just for the handguard and flashider 😁
