Blast from the past?
Did you own anything tasty previous to the SLR ban?
I came across this old schnap of my L1A1 on the 600yd point at Battle Hill.
I was well jacked off when we had to hand these in. :x

Too young I wasn't even born when the self-loaders were banned and was only 7 when the pistol ban came in.
However I've spent a lot of time in Switzerland and as a result have used a large number of handguns and 4 types of self-loader
namely the Steyr AUG, StG 90 (Sig 550) and the Stg 57 and the C4X storm

I was 2 when the self loading ban came in, and 11 when the pistol ban came in
