This video delves into the L119A2, the successor to the British Special Forces' L119A1 rifle. Introduced around 2016-2017, the L119A2, manufactured by Colt Canada, features a licensed LMT monolithic upper receiver for enhanced accessory mounting, though it presents challenges in heat management and cleaning. Key upgrades include a MagPul CTR stock and Geissele triggers, contrasting with the A1's MILSPEC components. The rifle gained public attention after Christian Craighead was seen using it during the 2019 Nairobi Westlands mall siege. The video highlights both 10" and 15.7" barrel variants, with the example in the video featuring a 16" barrel to avoid SBR classification.
This video explores the L119A1, a variant of the AR-15 platform adopted by UK Special Forces. Originally a Diemaco C8 SFW, it features unique modifications like an early flat-top upper, stepped buffer tube, textured telescoping stock, Lone Star grip, Knight's RAS, and an ambidextrous charging handle. The rifle was tested extensively in various environments and, despite being overgassed in its 10-inch barreled variant, proved reliable and eventually became the standard service rifle for the Royal Marines. The L119A2, a significantly different successor, is also briefly mentioned.
