Thanks, gang! Niner, yes, The Sunday crew got a sneak preview. I actually got it back in November but kept it secret until Christmas. It was hard to do! Duncan, thank you for the kind offer of a manual. I'm good though. :cool: Niner Delta, thank you for the cool info about the importer. I love littl...

It’s a PE57, the civilian version of the Sturmgewhr 57. It allows those not in the army to participate in the traditional shooting competitions.
