Some 12(X) Photos

[u/Alternative_Two475]

Here are some more (mostly)12(X) photos, based on the largely positive response from the other day. This batch are the classic "Battle Rifles", developed during the 1950s and 60s for the Cold War era. Many continue to soldier on in remote battlefields worldwide to the present day. In chronological order they are:

​

- Russian SKS (1953-?)

​

- Metric FN FAL (1954-Present)

​

- Standard FN C1A1 (1956-1986)

​

- SIG Sturmgewehr 57 (1957-1990)

​

- USGI M14 (1957-1964)

​

- AI AR10 Sudanese variant (1958-1985)

​

- HK G3A3 (1959-1996)

​

- Beretta BM-59 (1959-1997)

​

- AI AR10 Portuguese variant (1960-1976)

The SKS is why I said the pics are MOSTLY 12(x). The SKS, although limited to 300m because of its intermediate cartridge, was nonetheless the Russians' Cold War semi-auto Battle Rifle.
