    Hi Steve,

    for Question No. 1 Yes they used cut down barrels. They shortened it around 14 cm.
    For No.2 To equip their reservists the government dont want to give them military rifles ( for the costs i think) so that this rifles were made as a civilian rifle.

    And i think that they dont want to pay more money per rifle, so they were satisfied with the simple type of ironsights.

    Regards

    Ulrich
