I recently acquired this rifle and goodies from a long time friend who purchased it from a special ops vet. As you can see, it has received the common bitumen treatment in typical Iraqi fashion, and is complete with Iraqi military \2/ mark on the right side of the stock and lightly EPed? on the bottom of the receiver. Its a 23m 1978 Jianshe /26\ rifle with the french tickler. The rifle, sea-bag with three signatures, and beret were reportedly taken off a surrendering Iraqi soldier during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Many of you old timers know the seller and I have no doubts about its authenticity. Having said that, I did not pay for the story... I payed for the rifle which was a fair price, and NO... it is not import marked.
Ill just let you be the judge... enjoy the pics.
