There is an archived thread about cloning the L119A1 carbines here.

The Royal Marines' instagram page has been uploading some pretty cool shots of their guns lately.

A few examples:

Is anybody out there doing clones of these?  I have started pulling some parts together for a clone of my own.

We need another L119 clone thread. I started piling parts up for an a1 a couple years back. Then I stopped bc it wasn’t an a2 and I wanted an a2. Then I happened to fall ass backwards into an a2.

It’s a Colt Canada L119A2 upper. It’s a monolithic upper receiver.

I bought it from someone local who had it imported as a stripped upper while you could still get them commercially before the AWB went through in Canada. Strictly in the right place at the right time....

I’m not sure how true it is, but supposedly there are only 16 uppers total in the country between short/long, 10 short and 6 long. A buddy of mine has a factory assembled short he just picked up a few months ago.

The original factory Colt Canada UKSF upper was a 15.7”, this one has an American barrel in it with the correct profile and is 16”.

To Colt Canada, it essentially is a C8 Carbine. To the UK MOD, its an L119A1. Isn't exactly the same as a base C8 Carbine, but very close

I have all the parts I need for the 10" A1 except for the lower, super excited to get that done. My C8 SFW comes first though

Nice.  Mine is still in process but I think I have almost enough to put together a quasi-clone which will be close enough for me.
