1 RCR was the first regular army battalion to recieve them. i know this because i was in the company that was slotted to go to kabul for when the rifles showed up. that started in about december 2004 when we recieved them in dukes company in 1 rcr and then the rest of the companies started getting them.
3 rcr started to recieve them in the middle of 2005. no idea about the rest of the army but that much i do know.
