Actually I think you are right, the guns went through a refit in the early eighties, where they recieved new wheels, cut downed and removed shields, new paint job, some recoil upgrades and other new bits, I think that is when they went from the C1 to the C2.
We rolled a gun in Ft Lewis and the weapons techs told us we would lose it for good, because there was no more sight mounts in the system, the next day some of our enterprising types showed up with a new sight mount, which they used to get the gun back in action. I think I know where they liberated it from, but I ain't telling!
