			'''L1A1 SASR''' refers to Australian Special Air Service use of modified L1A1 Self Loading Rifles, including rare full-automatic conversions, chambered for 7.62×51mm NATO. The base L1A1 is an “inch-pattern” FN FAL derivative with a gas-operated action and 20-round detachable box magazine. In Vietnam-era special operations use, the variant is best known for field modifications intended to improve close-quarters handling and increase volume of fire when required.

			==HISTORY==
			Australia adopted the L1A1 Self Loading Rifle (SLR) as its standard infantry rifle in 7.62×51mm NATO, producing rifles locally at the Small Arms Factory, Lithgow. The L1A1 remained a semi-automatic service rifle in Australian general issue, while special operations forces had additional latitude to adapt weapons to meet patrol and ambush requirements in dense terrain.

	~~<gallery mode="packed" heights="400px">~~		In South Vietnam, SAS patrol members are documented carrying L1A1 rifles and a range of other weapons suited to reconnaissance and contact drills. Period references and museum/collection descriptions note that some SAS-used rifles were modified beyond standard configuration, including conversions to allow automatic fire (bringing the L1A1 closer in role to the selective-fire FAL family) and physical changes such as shortened barrels and added grips to improve portability and control. These modifications were not typical of standard Australian Army L1A1 issue, but reflect the niche requirements and small-scale experimentation associated with special operations weapons in theater.
