Photos In my quest to find old Barrel Crown pictures !

[TWOMANATTACK]

I was looking through old pictures to find pictures of my platoons M40A1s barrell crowns and I found this. SPEC M40A1 guys will like this. This picture was taken in Somalia 1993.

M40A1s with pic rails, M40A1s with VERY square barrel crowns etc.

Seems odd that unertl would have made an optic with the windage turret on the left side, and the usmc would make a left handed rifle for it. Any photography experts here? I think the image is reversed.

The picture does look reversed.

I assume the reversal is there to give the reader a better picture on the page. look at it again and imagine it the other way...face and obj lens in the crease...I see why they did it, but I was thrown for a loop as I looked at it, like you guys.

Isn't the first and won't be the last reversed image in print.
