Cheers gundoc I am already a member there.
I never used to carry my SLR with the carrying handle and I never saw anyone else either, I used to loop my webbing around it on runs that's all. I am just being very sentimental wanting the same type of SLR I was first issued as a 16 year old boy soldier, must be a getting old thing!

I think the phrase is as "originally manufactured (OM)" for the collectors out there.

But I agree there's a sentimentality of such things... and must have been handy too having that on the BFT's

No weapons on BFT's or webbing unless things have changed since I left. Have ran a few of them still pissed from the night before in my time, oh to be young again!!
