ATC units wanting to conduct L98A2 training are welcome to contact their local CCF unit who can probably help. Unfortunately internal politics sometimes prevent this.
You mean L41A1/A2. L1A1 was the FN FAL derived Self loading Rifle that was replaced in service between 1987 - 1991.
What we are doing in my Wg is to share training with local ACF Units via their Coy HQs (an ACF Coy is about the size of an average ATC Sqn!) and (generally) have 'proper' armouries (as opposed to Benwelds).
Having said that, as a SAAI, I have taught ATC, ACF, RM cadets, CCF, as well as Welbeck students.
While problematic, L98A2 training is not insurmountable, but it
is now an increased Admin burden.
