Take it for what you will. The defence force has made a good decision replacing them. Obviously others have the same opinion.

I'm not saying your full of shit and don't know what your talking about... But given that when you joined in 84 you were part of an era that had emotive ties to the previous weapon I can see why you are not a believer in the weapon, much like those who are in the same boat you were moving on to the LMT fully from the Steyr. Oh and by my maths 1984-2001 is not 20 years...
