That's great info, SSC. Thanks.
I suppose one could tweak their T2KU a little to allow UK manufacture of an improved SAR, if the SA80A1 wasn't working out and they didn't think BAE/H&K could realistically fix all of them in a timely fashion (especially with Germany being preoccupied with reunification and plans to boot the Soviets out of Poland). BAE could resurrect the Sterling plans to provide a quicker fix. This is a stretch, but it would be interesting to play with how UK units would be armed in the late Twilght War (a mix of SA80A1s, L85A2s, SLRs, Sterling SMGs, SARs, and possibly AR-18s).
