    I would suspect the butt may just be a replacement. I'm not sure it's value will be retained by changing it to a trench but it's yours, so... Pics would help some to identify it's place in collectables. Also we'd love to see it.

    I have several photos for download to help with the description but can not figure out how to access the "Advanced" option.

    I read the butt plate could be an earlier version but that doesn't explain lack of any arsenal rework cartouch. All that being said, including an even, blotchy parked finish has diminished my interest in retaining the original Riot Gun value that much. Also, many Riot Guns were converted by the military to Trench Guns anyway. However, I won't do anything to it yet at all at least until I confirm a bit more possible detail information.

    Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to add some photos. Doug - one of the moderators or whatever has been trying to help me understand but so far I don't get it. I read where there should be an "Advance" option to add images to a post but I do not see it.

    Thanks for your interest ~
