I read about this in Janes Defence Weekly, an issue from late 2006. Haven't heard anything else though.

That FIST program sounds dodgy, and I aint talking about the equipment.

They've been thinking about if for years. As far as I know the ACOG is one of the scopes under consideration to replace the SUSAT under the FIST programme.
If they do go through with it, they'll need a different mounting to the usual M1913 of the ACOG, as the L85 as a 19mm dovetail top side, not an M1913. You see, they've got the rest of the SA80 system working, so now they're replacing the only part that worked properly in the first place  |
|
The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.
 El_Vikingo: Bob_Marley, the level 70 pimp, will satisfy your needs. Many thanks to the Forum's no.1 hottie for the sig pretties. |

1991 pricing:
L85A1 : £450 SUSAT :£500 can the ASOG really cost much more than that? |
