Thanks, but I placed an order for 1440 of the Radway Green that Aim is selling. It's funny that it's called Radway Green but they don't use the green paint...

Wow, Colt Defense shipping out 8000 a month!

Anyone know a way to save the "flash" photos on that link?

Maybe they had the L1A1 up until they switched to 5.56, by which time 1/7 barrels were standard and they didn't need to worry about inventory of 1/12 barrels?

You could hit the PRT SCR button on your keyboard and then edit it in Paint.

Labor intensive, but it works.

You're correct, the SA-80/L85A1 never had a 1/12" twist.

The Brits did use M16's and M16A1's, mainly SAS, SBS, those kind of units, but I believe they got most of their ammo from us too. There are also Canadian C7's and C8's in inventory as well.

By the way, Radway Green is the ammunition manufacturer, doesn't have anything to do with green-tip SS-109.
