We want rifles that can be concealed on any fishing boat and in the normal luggage of tourists. As the rifles would be retrieved from the cache by covert operatives in a non-permissive environment years or even decades later, there is no guarantee that they'll have access to a custom-modified boat or other vehicle. They might rent or steal a boat and need to have weapons ready for quick deployment from the deck.
