Re: A good weekend at the range leads to a new toy
There were several hundred scopeless snipers (most w/bases) that were imported back some time ago, but they mostly had well-worn stocks & barrels. This one was part of a group of 8 that were recently imported from the EU according to the gentleman I bought it from.

Re: Another Kossuth Crest sniper rifle
No import marks, (though none of my Hungarians do) and it seems to be thought that most made there way here from Canada. These Hungarians just seem to hold a special allure for me.

Another Kossuth Crest sniper rifle
Well Big Brown just dropped off my latest "Hungarian" PU sniper, and this one has a special twist. I found it on Gunbroker, had to wait a week for it to run its course. Only one other late bidder who might have been thinking it was a "Nam bring back" which the seller alluded to. ...

Re: After 30 yrs in I decided to treat myself.
Well it is finally here and it appears this particular rig was last issued to C-Troop, 6/8th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division and still has dust and dirt on its bipod from its last deployment. 20220419_174921_resized.jpg 20220419_173011_resized.jpg 20220420_085245.jpg 20220420_08...
