the guns heading to the US , its being released and the war memorial will disconbooberate the things cause of the PC BS in canberra

so its going to the folks who made it for us ,

or more correctly their museum

the SeaBee's Museum

and it'll stay a shooter

here it'd end up replaced by a fibreglass copy that cost $10,000 or something stupid to please the anti gun nuts

my lousy pic ( i gotta use a tripod eh )

Marine unit thats visiting its taking the rifle back to the US the marine on the left is the commander , the next marine aint , but a SeaBee of the same rank etc of the folks who made ours and the girly's the apprentice , and they be the folks attached to the marine unit thats here who'll take it to its new home the Seabee's Museum

the gent with the medals is the gent in the pic and the boof head out front is the korean war boss for the RSL ( like your VFW)

early IR technology is all i can say , i know the CSIRO has books on it , but i forget all the details , sorry

you folks forget how many things we invent here that get taken over and made famous elsewhere

sonar buoys
TV
Radar

the Seabee's fitted our test stuff to a M1 carbine for use

we did also put it on a garand but the rcoil was too much for the gear so we got a M1 from you folks

we swapped the top illuminator with a US made one but dunno which is in the pic , ours or your..

and it became rather well used at the Chosin reservoir ...

then became another obsolete test that sat in racks to get a clean and oil every 6-10 months

i'll get a pic of it as it is now
