Hey all:

Not to be a nay sayer: But I think you have your nomenclature Back- asswards
: The M151A2 was designed to have the ROPS kit, as far as I know the
straight 151 and the A-1 Were not.

Additionally, I gave a ROPS kit (Canadian type, nicer than ours) to one of
our list members for him to use on an A-1, and he took it off because it
made the handling more funky.

If I am wrong, I apologise.
