[ARC5] [Milsurplus] GP with ARB?

[Tim]

Hi Taigh - Yes, Harpoon!  duh....  Looked kind of lonely sitting out there
but if she gets the same treatment she will be a beauty once again.  You
guys did some fantastic work on your first one.  Looking forward to a
contact down the road.  ART-13's (and ARC-5's) sound great!
Cheers, Tim
