Looks like you got yourself a nice one. Where did you pick this one up at?

This is something I have never seen, could you post a picture of this?

That beats anything I ever "helt, felt or smelt". I haven't seen that before now either.

That is a nice one indeed.  I need to go and dig thru mine again.. I am pretty sure one of them had the serial in the stock that way but not 100%.
I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning.

Other times you'll find other easter eggs inside like this star stamp, likely put there by the Chinese during refurb:

This is fascinating, I've honestly never looked at our stocks this closely. I'll have to do that tomorrow.
