@FlatulousMaximus I was surprised to learn the SA80 was heavier than the SLR. I've fired the L98 (with the Air Cadets), and it was way lighter than the old No. 8 .22 rifle.
@Musicgutbucket No, didn't fancy it when I was 16/17. Oddly I wish I had joined some 20 years later, no idea why though, perhaps marriage can have that effect on a man...
The Micks are good, unfortunately not as good as The First or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards.Ahemm!

I think for these parades, classic rifles (Enfield, Springfield, Mauser k98) have a much more aesthetic appearance.

Do you have any more of the documentary? I'm very interested in it. Intro of the SA80, lovely.
