Just a guess, mind you. But Iranian border guard rifle? Very likely a capture rifle out the Iran-Iraq War. Very unusual and a very nice find.

I'd buy that explanation over what the seller told me, Steve. There's no way this rifle could have been brought back legally under the current idiotic rules regarding 'war trophies' .
Oops! I said 'war trophies'..can't say that either, apparently!
As best as I understand it the War Trophy rules have changed 2-3 times in recent years. May well have been Ok to bring in a few years back.
