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

I'd better get writing to Sinterklaas - we'll see what Zwarte Piet has for me on Monday.

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
