Not to quibble but should this one not be marked DASS.

Here in Oz the official abbreviation is SASR. Special Air Service Regiment. In outside circles they are simply SAS. I prefer the time honoured term Chook Stranglers.

Incredible. But with 7.53 babies born every minute in the USA, if Barnum is still right, then 13.28% of the population are suckers.

While browsing eBay for new auctions I found this: Rare tank or cannon scope and mount | eBay (not my auction nor do I know the seller - only posting it because it is identical to the one on the rifle).
The same mount and scope as with the rifle in question. Obviously the seller doesn't know what it originally was intended for either. I think he is not too way off with Cannon or Tank.
