    Am I seeing it right that the rail for the unisight has an "A" marked on it? Any chance there is also "RBG" after it? My mate may have made that during his time with REME.

    Is charger cover the same reinforced one used on the C1 sniper scopes? It does seem very much like a prototype unit - I can't imagine the cheek weld is very suitable and it doesn't seem like it would...
