0 robin craig Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Clive, I am using your extensive notes on this site to narrow down what items are. Yes i knew that CLNG meant cleaning, I was just posting what the label said. Ok so for what breech is it to clean? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fv1609 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ok so for what breech is it to clean?R I haven't the foggiest idea. Not much more help when looking it up on fiche: Cleaning tool, breech block chamber, L2A1 Procurement reference: C-FL17955 Issue 2 Superseding M3/1015-99-941-6434 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gareth Coe Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Cleaning tool, breech block chamber, L2A1 Wasn't the L2A1 the license-built FALO (heavy barrel SLR)? That thing looks far too big for that kind of jobbie. I'm confused :confused: :??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 antarmike Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) L2A1 also apperas to designates 30mm Readen for Warrior....And the Stirling Submachine gun... Edited May 21, 2010 by antarmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 antarmike Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Also seems to be British nomencature for AT4 84mm One shot anti tank projectile. Designated L2A1 (ILAW) (AT4 CS with high penetration warhead), used by the British Army. but that was a one shot weapon, with a disposable launcher, ((recoiless rifle type principle.)

0 fv1609 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I think the reason the designation crops up on a range of different items is that it is analogous to No. 2 Mk 1 etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 steveo578 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Gareth Coe Wasn't the L2A1 the license-built FALO (heavy barrel SLR)? SLR is L1A1 UK never used a heavy barrel FAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ferretfixer Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 It's definately NOT a Tool for Smallarms. It is probably for Ordanance, IE: Anything that is Artillery based main armamant. I must confess I have never seen one of these. :nut: But then again, Im used to using all the Smallarms equipment as an Armourer. Mike.

0 robin craig Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 So, are we saying that this is a reamer / cleaning tool for the 30mm in Warrior, is that the definitive answer? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
