Two Model 97 riot guns with the lug ground off?
I recently picked up two Model 97s that once were the property of the Denver Police Department - neat looking guns. However, both riot guns had the ventilated barrel shroud removed and parts of the bayonet lug ground off (it definitely looks like they had them at one time--you can clearly read the patent numbers on what remains). Was this common for police departments to do this?
