SA80 Paperwork

There has been quite a few updates of the military manual since the 80s. But unknown to some, Enfield / Royal Ordnance / H+K actually had SA80s and LSWs for sale to the public. I have 3 versions of the civilian manual in English, Spanish and Arabic ! The manuals have the Royal Ordnance logo on the front and even tell you how to fit the sling !
