Cable lock. The rifles are locked to their webbing to stop them putting them down and losing them, or to mitigate the risk of being disarmed.

Thanks for posting these, I was just looking through old 1980's issues of SOF and was admiring the R4 and R1 pics that are in them.

Could you possibly scan and email those for me?

 

[ljspoon]

Sure can, I have more of the R1 pictures back to 1975 but there are some of the 32nd as well with early R4's in Angola.

Better yet, post them here. :clap

I have this thread here: http://www.uzitalk.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-75123.html?

In it, I've been compiling Galil stuff from the 1970s and 1980s as I build my collection of magazine back issues, primarily SWAT and Soldier of Fortune.

I'm slammed for the rest of this year, but plan to organize, re-inventory and scan my (print) magazine horde where applicable next year.

If you're going to be doing it anyways, it'd be great if you could upload pdfs to something like scribd and then post them there as well. Thank you!

Here is one, lately I have been a little busy with work. I will try for some more when I find them.

 

[ljspoon]

Here is one , not the best picture of an R4. I figured you guys would want to read the articles and not just look at the pictures.

Awesome, many thanks!
