L1A1 sight for SLR,info wanted!

[AndyD]

Does anyone out there have any info on the above please?
Was it just for use with the SLR,if so,how was it mounted to the gun?

Hopefully there may be someone out there who has used one!

Cheers,
Andy

andy i seem to remember assuming you are on about the suit sights,,that they needed a top cover that had the scope mounts fitted unlike the standard top cover that had no scope mounts fitted to it

the sightunit, infantry, trilux L2A2 4x magnification .range control settings 300 and 500 meters incorporating a erecting prism and telephoto lens.0.22 curie of tritium gas .needs a rifle top cover adapter and has been used on other weapons like recoiless rifles . hope some of this is useful to you .

Spotter is right.
The top cover (piece of pressed steel) was a speial piece with the scope mounts attached.
you could not take a standardSLR & mount this type of scope (or any other).
Personally I hated the scope & it made an already heavy & out of balance weapon more cumbersome.
Always opted for the L39 if I could!! can`t remeber the scope config - Bisley made comes to mind?

OOOPS!
I got the designation wrong.
What I meant to say was the L5A1 weaponsight image intensified.

Sorry for any confusion!

Cheers,
