Well it might be just as simple as what it says...Andrews hard line. Post a picture, that would help

That appears to be solid core and double stranded braid. If i.didnt k oe better id say it looks loke lmr400, but its too thin. Pretty cool there man. Im not sure but Andrews-something seems to be a good guess.

Probably the same as LMR 240...which is about the same diameter as RG mini-8, just has the tin shielding over the center core jacket...LMR 240 also requires a reducer to put on the connector...
