Welcome to correct me here R93 also as was sometime ago and heavily on the diesels....

I think the Aussie ones had a problem with the mold for the stocks which was sorted rather quickly iirc. Few other minor issues they also sorted over time.
Dunno why they chose the reticle they used compared to ours. It was a weird decision imo.
I managed to pass their AWQ using it when I was attached to one of their battalions for a while. Was difficult when you had to hold a fig 11 target central as best you could inside a large circle at 300😆
