Yup, you're right.  What I said though is still correct.  This one is THE 
ONLY _post-1968_ transferable out there.  The others are older General 
Electric guns.

Mike Dillon is a special case.  He is both a Class II manufacturer and a 
military contractor.  As such he has a number of miniguns in his possession 
including a UH-1H Huey helicopter with a pintle mounted M134.  The three gun 
mount you saw was disassembled and at least one of those guns was sold.  
Somewhat unrelated, but Dillon is now manufacturing an improved minigun 
designated M134A2.  The feeder has been improved and other parts are now 
made easier to changeout.  DOD has been buying them since 1999.
