Post by: Jamie Hurley on October 05, 2023, 02:30:57 AM

I see specific rifles referred to as RCA #XX, but what is the RCA?

Thanks.

Each gun described in the books is given a number. So, when someone refers to RCA #45 you can get out your book, turn to #45 and see exactly what gun they are talking about.
