Did you ever find out what make and model it was ?? 

I did but I can't remember I'm afraid. My neighbour is in to such things and found it in one of his reference books. It was something quite obscure dating from the mid-1970s. How it ended up in my river I have no idea!

Cheers for that. 
Would have been good to know what  it actually was.

I've been trying to place it for the last couple of days.  First thought was French, then the trigger guard made me wonder if it was some mad bullpup Galil I don't know about, then the magwell looked like it was indeed for pistol rounds and I thought it could be a .22 of some sort, or even just a toy. No idea basically. Would be interested to know though.

 

Given its obscurity, I concur with your statement, Alec. I've no idea how it ended up in your river.

I recon it's an early SA 80 with missing front hand guard and iron sights instead of susat, they had shite brittle plastics so could of broken or a Enfield prototype of some weapon as it's not quite an EM2 either .. maybe a design team member took one home , then later chucked it or family member did ...

I thought EM2 family from the curvy bits but discounted it as just too unlikely. On reflection, only as unlikely as anything else.
