Very informative video on the R4, R5, R6 and LM series.

Only saw your post now. Ah well, a very good video nonetheless. I also want a fully automatic wire cutter.

Brilliant clip, informative.

Great clip. Must just say that I experienced my first battle incapacitating jam on my R4 yesterday after 22 years of using R4's. Had to use the boot to clear the jam.

But I must also say that it was ammo related.

Any info on that red dot? I can't find anything.

He mentions then not being issued, but I know we had them on our R5's in SW late 80s

How were they mounted? Can't seem to figure it out from the video. I have a pristine LM5 and I don't want to ruin it with modifications, yet a red dot will be nice.

Meh. We were DPs. More interested in breaking things and drinking than seeing how they actually worked.

I have not watched the whole vid, but assume you are referring to the Armson OEG sight?

The model made for the R/LM series had a clamp that you clamped around the gas tube with "ears" sticking down on both sides of the barrel to keep it upright if knocked.

The Armson OEG was locally made. In the US, it was distributed by Trijicon, hence the reference to it on their advertising.
