How Much does This Cost?

[HerrWiener]

The R4 (5.56mm ) replaced the R1 (7.62mm / .308 ) in the 1980's as the general service weapon. It was lighter, carried more rounds is stable in automatic fire mode and also more versatile.

Does the SA Army still use, I believe it was the R1? If I remember correctly, that shot a .308.

@63gstone no mate the R1 was replaced by the R4 in the early 80's

[HerrWiener]

Hi mate, back in the day if you've done your National Service were issued a service weapon as part of a standby duty programme if you lived in a border area. We had lot of insurgents in the 80's .

I had a Ruger Mini-14 for a while as well under civilian liscence.

[TheSurferdogg]

Is that in SA, How did you mange the licensing?

[mirageF1AZ]

@TheSurferdogg I want to know aswell because the goverment will never allow a civilian to have a full auto weapon.

[HerrWiener]

Yep, it's our own ( South African) military copy - the R4. No it cannot exchange parts with the AK-47. The caliber is 5.56mm while the AK is 7.62.

Great weapon to fire. Perfect for controlled rapid fire. Does what it says on the tin.

[TheDeepBlueWater]

@Beamster420 Correct. It was licensed and modified from the Israeli Galil. It incorporated an AK47 firing mechanism I believe.
