The 30 round mags are unreliable and therefore useless. No one with any sense uses the 30's, which were really for the Bren Gun, which was top-feed, which gave the mag a "gravity assist".

And given that there are zillions of 7.62 cartridge types out there, it's worthwhile specifying that this is, of course, 7.62x51 NATO. As opposed to 7.62x39R, 7.62x54R, 7.62x25 Tokarev, 7.62 Nagant, . . . .

Oops - nomenclature brain fart. L1A1 is indeed the inch pattern FAL the Brits (and other Commonwealth types) used. LAR, light automatic rifle, is the English translation of FAL.
