The Rifle 7.62mm 2A/2A1[2] (also known as the Ishapore 2A/2A1)[2] is a 7.62×51mm NATO calibre bolt-action rifle adopted as a reserve arm by the Indian Armed Forces in 1963. The design of the rifle – initially the Rifle 7.62mm 2A – began at the Rifle Factory Ishapore of the Ordnance Factories Board in India, soon after the Sino-Indian War of 1962.[3]

The Ishapore 2A/2A1 has the distinction of being the last bolt-action rifle designed to be used by a regular military force other than specialized sniper rifles. While they are no longer in service with the Indian military, the rifle is still used by the Indian police.[1]
Development[edit]
Delhi Police officers march during Republic Day in 2009 with 2A/A1 rifles and mounted Pattern 1907 bayonets.
Production of the 2A/2A1 started in 1962 after the SMLE Mk IIIs* was phased out of service with the Indian military.[1] The Indian-made SMLE Mk IIIs are known as the Type 56, made between 1956 and 1965 although any rifles made in the latter are rare due to the transition to the 2A.[4]

However, paragraph (j)(3) of this section applies to expenses paid or incurred after September 30, 2002, and paragraph applies to clearly marked public safety officer vehicles, as defined in § 1.274-5(k)(3), only with respect to uses occurring after May 19, 2010.
Externally, the Ishapore 2A/2A1 rifle is based upon (and is almost identical to) the .303 British calibre SMLE Mk III* rifle, with the exception of the distinctive 'square' (10 or 12 round) magazine[5] and the use of the buttplate from the 1A (Indian version of the FN FAL) rifle.[3]
2 5 Tao
The 2A was designed to allow the British Pattern 1907 (P'07) sword bayonet used on the SMLE MkIII to be attached. Other difference included the use of improved steel (to handle the increased pressures of the 7.62mm NATO round),[6] and a redesigned extractor to cope with the rimless round.[3]
1 2 (Clonazepam 0.5 mg) Pill with imprint 1 2 is Orange, Round and has been identified as Clonazepam 0.5 mg. It is supplied by Accord Healthcare, Inc. Clonazepam is used in the treatment of panic disorder; seizure prevention; epilepsy and belongs to the drug classes benzodiazepine anticonvulsants, benzodiazepines.
The original (2A) design incorporated the Lee–Enfield rear sight which has graduations out to 2000 yards. The re-designated 'Rifle 7.62mm 2A1' incorporated a more realistic 800 meter rear sight[3] in 1965.[2] The stock is recycled from the No. 1 Mk. III armory stock, with the addition of a cross screw forward of the magazine well.
Some stocks were salvaged from existing surplus and show artificer repairs where rotted or damaged wood has been replaced. This repair is especially evident with the recoil draws (the area the receiver contacts when recoiling after the shot) that often failed over time due to the rifle being rack-stored butt down / muzzle up, which allowed oils and grease to migrate downwards into this critical area.

The weapon was produced at a rate between 22,000 and 115,000 rifles annually, averaging 70,000 a year.[1] Around 250,000 rifles were made in total[7] before production ended in 1974.[1]

The 2020 values listed are meant to give someone with no knowledge of vintage Barbie an approximate idea of value 2 5 1 In Music
of dolls in average to excellent condition.Values vary wildly for many different reasons including the condition of the doll, any accessories included, the cycles of the market and the conditions of the sale. In general, dolls being sold in person or by established dealers that collectors trust will bring more than dolls being sold on eBay because of the fraud risk eBay poses.

Average:
This is based on dolls in played-with condition that have no major damage. Barbie may be missing the original hair bands and be out of the original style and she may even have some thinning or one or two inconspicuous missing hair plugs, but there are no haircuts or large amounts of hair missing. Ken may have flocking missing, but he is not bald or almost bald.
There may be rubs on the lips, eyebrows or missing eye ridge paint, but the doll is not missing mostly all of the lip or eyebrow paint. The arms and legs don't fall out of the sockets and are not swingy so that they won't hold any pose at all. There is no major damage such as nose nips or neck splits, and if they have green ear, it covers only the ear area as opposed to spreading to the cheeks and face.
