Never seen an AVS-36 before, not sure I even knew such a thing existed.

It's sad that the motto of young Americans isn't "live free or die" or "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country" or even "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country". Instead their motto is "pee yourself, shelter in place and cry for help". Pathetic.

The infamous grey carpet bandit sreisel strikes again.   banned1

What an absolute travesty if he did indeed flame cut the receiver just to be able to sell it and eke out a bit of profit.  It belonged in a museum if it was in working condition...

Ok, I'm dumb.  Is this a select fire rifle making it illegal to sell unless the receiver was cut?  What price would this rifle bring if the receiver had not been cut, assuming selling it was possible?  Ive not seen one of these before and was just reading the wiki...interesting history!

John Galt
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
Rudyard Kipling  1919
