I think w/ my small hands the "extended" style selector switch from the inch guns is easier to operate - and I can put one on my metric gun. And I think the Indian (dot not feather) mag release (a long horizontal bar) is better as well, and again I can put one on my metric gun. Butt stocks attach differently between inch and metric.

Carried an L1A1 for 13 years - and it had bolt hold open on the last shot as far as I can remember.
You guys have reopened the desire to get my paws on one again. Still have all my wood furniture for it from when I was in. I'll have to dig that out.
