    Mr. Grist,

    Is there a weapon you do not own?. You seem to have a very large group of fine weapons, and they all look correct.

    Just German military or do you dabble in other items?.

    Best,

    Kris

    This was a short cut in BBl. production apparently the crowning of the bbl. and rifiling at the end, is a time consuming process so it was done away with...BILL
