Don't know if I would classify this as NEW never been used, especially after lending it to the Feds for testing purposes. :shock: :shock:

I think he means "never used" as in its a safe queen and never gets used Camel.

I thought the federales used Blasers so it smells like bullshit to me anyhow.

A safe queen with 480 shots through it. :roll:

I wouldn't say its bullshit, im pretty sure i know the guy who imported it and he has given the feds quote a few things to test in recent years and they are not what you would expect.

Ahhh maybe, but this line could be considered at either a slight error or total out and out lying bullshit.

"Bought new and never used so safe queen has to go." :wink:

It's probably not they were doing some testing on a variety of rifles recently. Their Blasers are 338l, 308s are AIs.

Hmm, the 308 Blaser I was holding not long ago must have been an imposter I guess :roll:

Nah, they do run the 308 barrels on the Blasers too, for practice generally but nothing is set in stone, the 338l costs a bit to run and sometimes even the govt has too budget. They also have some semi auto 308s, so there is a variety of systems in use.

They certainly do run a range of gats but I must say I didn't see any AIs amongst the sr15, sr25, Blasers, etc etc that I was having a sticky beak at

Fair enough. Might depend which location it was, as they definitely have a few AIs in the armoury too.
