We get the odd prankster (not really a prank) in the US that seem to make up any story to elevate their wares to the status of Lordship with corresponding prices. I feel sorry for the poor Sod that buys into both the story and the pricing.
Btw, Peter, I will have to look up the comments you have made on short barrels...I have this old gun you see, fella told me it had been used in the Borneo troubles..... :slap:
Actually, just kidding about the Borneo story. This one the seller knew nothing about (pawn shop purchase), but it appeared to be a reasonable amalgamation of Inch and Metric components. I have always liked the Inch ergonomics, but the shorter barrel and folding stock are what I consider Metric features. The stock in fact looks like an R5 stock. It was the type with a rubber butt pad, which is missing. I have since ordered a new R5 folder that does not feature the add on rubber butt pad. Those things (the rubber butt pad) are like Hens Teeth in the US.
