Hmmm, I'd like to see what kind of tyres that truck had on it. I mean, if they were the large tundra stompers like we stuff under some of our play toys here in the US, well, that's not a whole lot of weight per unit area. I have a really good idea: Why not convince Jack Straw that it would be a really good deal to force all you gunnies (who were deprived of a good firearms) to buy at least one, and maybe three each of those SA 80's, and that way he could save face by getting back all that money he paid you for your prior arms, and he'd get rid of all those rifles too . . . no? Just a thought. ET -- Actually the SA80 isn't bad for target shooting. Unfortunately Section 7 of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 means it would be illegal to sell them to us, even converted to straight-pull operation, though Parliament could make an exemption. The serial numbered part of the SA80 is the trigger mech housing, so when they are eventually sold off as surplus and appear in the US and Canada as parts kits, you will be able to buy a virtually complete rifle. The bolt, recoil spring and barrel are all attached to the upper receiver. Steve.
