Just had a dig around and found a MA38 in my bits and pieces. Don't know common that year is.

Just curious is that a short butt fitted to that rifle .It appears to be short or just may be camera angle.

Brings back memories, firing illumination rounds in the sand at Tin Can Bay and firing HEAT rounds at the Centurions at Singleton.

The Aussie M60 pam says it is an L5A1 tripod . So it sounds a bit British to me.

My ROFM 41 is fitted with a SM41 L sight . I can't take a photo for you as I would need to do it with natural light. But it's raining here and will be for a few more days.

The section cleaning kit had steel rods . They were exactly the same as the ones in the M60
cleaning kit. Got one laying around somewhere.

When the Australian Army had M16A1 rifles before the Steyr this was one of the BFA's that was issued. These could have been in the system for a long time as Australia starting using M16's in Vietnam....
