Do the Royal Marines Snipers sell the weapons they manufacure in their Compouns ?....Like the ones from America, which are making their own guns and ammo. I will be interested to know if they have for sale a .338 cal, with bull barrel,and fully equiped with a 12 power scope(military grade). Thanks for your time. Kazimir

Bob is correct. It is somewhat difficult to get "retired" military arsenal equipment. Though civilian versions of the L96A1 are for sale. Accuracy International do sell to civilians in the USA and quite possibly elsewhere, and they are, as Bob nicely put it - Megabucks!!!

NO. You can try several companies that manufacture tactical-type rifles for sale to civilians, but I'd say you have a snowball's chance of buying a previously military sniper weapon anywhere but the black market. Be prepared to spend megabucks for a good tactical rifle in .338 Lapua.
