WOW, this takes me back. I had the SLR when i was about 5. I went shooting with my dad with it. He used a 12 bore and i learned about gun safety with mine. 4 years later and I was had my own Greener GP.
That was valuable time spent with my dad. Reccommended.
I still remember loading the mag with the little silver plastic bullets and then loosing them. I feel five again, thanks.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, I feel relieved now, I don't have to scour the Earth looking for one 'in the plastic' as it were. You've satisfied my nostalgia 'urge'.
It's interesting none of the guns, while very similar, are exact scaled-down copies. I wonder why they changed them? The Airfix SLR is nearly there, but I suppose the trigger unit had to be modded to get the spring-action firing system to work. The other ones are more curious - why the foreshortened magazine on the cap-firing FN-FAL/SLR? And the bulbous stock on the AR10?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ar-10.jpg - here is a pic of a real AR10. Nice clean straight lines on the stock.
what is that about? And why is a toy-maker making an AR10 when it was never issued to any armies of note (sorry Portugal!) - I suppose it does look like a ray-gun - but surely a Garand M1, an M14 or a M1 Carbine would have been a more obvious choice?
If you put that lot down for auction you could buy a new Fiat 500!

The SLR blade was soft plastic, but there was a spring-loaded plastic Commando dagger that lots of kids in the 1970s played with....probably got them confused unless you made up a special mounting. Brittle polystyrene was never going to last long as a thin cylinder.. should have put a metal liner in the barrel.
