I've had the pleasure of running a mag thru a FA M14, FAL, and G3/HK91 during a range session. The FAL is the most controllable on FA, the other two are sort of a tie. The HK doesn't flip up as much, but it has much harder recoil. The M14 has a lot of muzzle rise, but is easier on the shoulder.
The one sc_rufctr posted is the L2A1 (or C2A1 if Canadian) and is inch pattern. The 30 round mag is actually a Bren mag. Most L1A1s were issued as semi auto only - the selector has a tab on it that would hit the edge of the upper receiver keeping it going from FA. The metric pattern guns were mostly all FA, the ones that were semi only have a hook on the selector that hits a pin on the side of the lower receiver keeping them from going to the FA position. Either one should be sear cut and have the FA ejector block, so making one of them go FA is a simple matter of replacing the selector which takes about 10 seconds.
