Afgan No.1 Mk1 found at Tulsa show

[breakeyp]

While the socket is marked, "BSA" the lack of any inspection markings on the receiver and barrel indicate the gun was made locally in Afganistan. Note the interesting Afgan seal on the socket and knox form. It would be interesting to find out the signifigance of the "jewlery" around the stock wrist. Pieces of a mirror are fitted to the lightening cuts in the foresight protector ears.

The Marine who brought it back, inscribed his name and USMC in the brass butt plate. The butt trap is functional for an oiler but there is no hole for the pull through weight. Based on inpsection markings, the rear sight and some small parts appear to be legitimate British parts.
