I was only a youth but I am sure I remember seeing the RUC using these in the late 70's early 80's. Of course, never got to get a close look, justthe muzzle sticking out the back of a grey land rover travelling in front.

Re: Ruger Mini 14
I have just purchased the hallowed SimG one, and with a cruel twist of fate he sold it to me to fund the purchase of my ex browning abolt TCT.

Oh how I regret my impulsive decisions.....!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
