The Sight Unit Small Arms, Trilux, or SUSAT, is a 4× telescopic sight with tritium-powered illumination, utilised at dusk or dawn. The sight is not designed as a sniper sight, but is rather intended to be mounted on a variety of rifles and to be used by all infantrymen. SUSAT is the primary sighting system for the British Army's SA80 series of weapons. The sight is dated 1985. The Optics of this Susat has a military post reticle (the battery no doubt has no charge due to date of manufacture). Deactivated to UK specification in 2002 the rifle’s slide is fixed in place, the trigger moves and the magazine can be removed. The price includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery.
