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.
