Steve,

The Times 'SAS don't want SA80' story is pretty
stale news - the MOD has already (very recently)
ordered a quantity of new 5.56mm assault rifles
from Diemaco in Canada for UK special forces. I
believe these are most likely to be M4A1 equivalents,
probably with US SOCOM's SOPMOD modifications (flat
top, extra scope/gizmo mounting points etc). 

UK SF don't have SA80, but the new order from Canada
suggests their M16A2s may also now be getting rather
tired.
