I thought the gun was interesting also.

I moderate a couple of Martini boards and one of the fellows posted this gun and asked for help identifing it.

I have a Carbine like that, straight Military MHCC, and yes I do shoot it.

In fact I don't own guns that can't be shoot. Guns that can't be/aren't being shot are used as trading stock. It's not enough to have a pretty face, if they can't cook they are gone!
