其實點解佢要分inch 同metric 呢 ? 唔同廠 ?
metric rifles were patterned after the original Belgian FN design. countries like Belgian, Austria, Argentena, Brazil, South Africa, Rhodesia, Germany(the G1's were used before the G3's) etc. used the metric design. they all differ somewhat too, but their parts are generally interchangeable. you can take a stoll flash hider off an austrian STG58 and put it on a Brazilan IMBEL.
when the Brits decided to adopt the FNFAL, they made a few "Improvements" to the design, and used their own specified parts for it. abidexterous mag release, taller sights that flipped down that accomodated the use of the Trilux SUIT scope, folding charging handle, bunny ear front sight protectors, a better selector....they designated their rifle L1A1
these designs were incorporated in the rifles that were produced in the british commonwealth countries, like the UK, Aus, Canada, NZ, and obviously the L1A1's seen in HK were from England! made in Enfield!(or other ordnances as well)
later on India decided to produce their own FNFAL, but it was a total disaster. noone likes indian FNFAL's, they never work right.
the Isreali's also came up with their own version of the FNFAL. these were great FNFAL's! they had the heavy barrel SAW FAL and the light barrel infantry FAL.
the Indian and Isreali versions were neither inch or metric. they were of their own pattern
