New (to me) is this OIC 12(5) HK-93 5.56mm/.223 cal Sporting/Utility Rifle, purchased through Switzer's April 2026 Auction. It accepts proprietary 25, 30 and 40-round 5.56mm magazines, the latter being aluminum manufacture for light weight. Note the original South African ARMSON-brand Occluded-Eye Gunsight (OEG) in the 2nd photo, which was effectively the world's first mass-produced "red dot" sight in which one eye sees the dot on a black background and the other eye sees the target and surrounding terrain, over which the red dot appears. It takes some practice, but works quite well with some basic familiarity.

Unfortunately, I have no feet to show. Lost both legs above the knee to a Taliban IED back in 2008. Nowadays I am wheelchair-bound.

That's rough man, sure sounds like you're enjoying life still though. Thanks for your service, and I'm glad to see someone in canada still gets to own these. Im glad it's one of our vets too.

Reliable gun I think it was, or maybe the gun dealer out east had an awesome deal on an FAL, $800. I think it's still up for sale under their prohibited section. 

If you buy a prohibited and have the licensing, can you still ship it like any other firearm? Or does it have to be picked up in person?

They ship just like any other Restricted firearm.

Shit that true? Dam that’s awful. Least the government can do for you is let you have some fun toys.

Thank you so much for your sacrifice man.. I have no words. I wish we could show our appreciation to the vets in more than just words but I am so thankful for you people that gave up a lot just for us.
