PTRDs
Stewart
I acutally picked up both a PTRD and a PTRS in a two gun deal. I am now selling off my PTRD in favour of the S.
Ammo is available from a couple of sources in my neck of the woods, ranging from $30 to $50. I have picked up 4 rounds, and I'll give them a try in the next few weeks.
The rumour of a ban on the over .50 cal stuff in Canada has been floating around for years, but really it has just come down to the bamnning of certain models of the Barrets, and the Mcmillans. The real problem has been trying to get the stuff out of the US. The US state dept won't alow non-government sales to leave their country. So now our importers are bringing in nice pieces like the Steyr 50s. But even .50 cal ammo is getting scarce as the distributers are even having to bring in brass and reloading components from overseas.
Kind of back to the subject of the PTRDs and carriers, I really can't imagine where you would stow it on a carrier besides the top cover. A Boyes just fits into the brackets, a boyes mk1* with the longer flat flashider almost doesn't make it, and a PTRD is about a foot longer.
