I wonder if that will be a "take home" rifle?

Forged trigger guard. It would have been nice if they had sent the serial number and maker. Yes, I'd love to have that one. I'll bet the inside's REAL rough. BTW, I understand Saddam had a couple of those as family guns. Used to use them for hunting hares so I understand. I guess they would work for that...

Unfortunately in todays environment the steel went to China. I hope they recovered it before harm was done to the good guys.
