I posted it here because it has some great pics.
Looks like air rifles on the left in the first pic.

WOW! What a bunch of restoration projects there! Too bad no one on this side of the world will ever see any of them.

That is a great picture thread thanks for the link and sharing.

Those are airguns in the first photo, I have one just like it.

My cousin Gary sent me this pic 4 years ago or so with the header "Look what I found!!"

No, he didn't get to bring it home.

Precious........

That would look good next to my SVD I have now. Actually that one would probably make it jealous.

He said that he couldn't tell me where he found it... but since it'd been in the news that they'd just taken one of Saddam's palaces a few days before I got this photo, I'm pretty sure I know where he found it.

I remember seeing on some special on tv that they had made these and the plated AK's for his guards or something so your assumption is probably spot on. It really sucks that they can't take them back here like a trophy or something. That thing is a piece of history. And it'd definitely qualify for C+R status so a lot of us would have had the opportunity to buy it had American import laws not sucked so much.

Oh, it came back all right. He tells me that some Admiral has it. Not sure what the Admiral did to deserve it, as I suspect that he wasn't any where near the fighting.

Cool! Lets go get it, blast that gangsta plating off, have it reblued or Duracoated and bring it to the 7/4 Shirley shoot.
