The AR 15 and Trilux scope.

For you gun buffs this is a pic. of my friend Sidney cleaning his rifle. He usually takes it home and gets his mum to do it... I jest... It shows the AR 15 being cleaned. The gun hinges and the top T bar is pulled out together with the rotating bolt assembly. This gives access to the rifle bore for cleaning. The pic also shows the side view of the Trilux off-centre scope which you turn on with a knob on the top and a radioactive gas is induced into the sighting reticule which makes the sight pointer inside glow for night shooting. At night you can still see and identify goodies and baddies and produce very tight 100 meter groups of .223..

If you look under the front sight, the rifle also has a clamp bi-pod fitted to help steady the gun when shooting. Handy for long periods of time looking down the sight from a hidy-hole or ghilly suit.
