That was because they didn't completely change them over until just before we scrapped them. You may have had a C1 Machine gun, (C4, C5) came later. They all had mods, but the first was really a .30 cal with a barrel and bolt...maybe discriminator changes.

It seemed as though the 7.62 just didn't have enough puff to cycle the recoil action.

Quite so. Remember what cartridge it was designed for. Seems for every major mod there's about 8 minor mods. It was never right so enter the C6(MAG 58)...and the problems stopped.

Sound like the gun had the .30-06 instead of the 7.62mm b

Sound logic but by this time, I'd have been surprised if all that stock hadn't been expunged from the system. Possible though. I did come across a Centurion tank ranging gun barrel once when we ordered new .50 barrels.

Nice, nice...I carried those a long way when I was much younger. I was specially proud to because my dad had done so before me...all through Europe. I'd love to handle that one a bit.
