Hello all, I’ve owned this rifle for about a year now but unfortunately it has been deactivated. When I bought it they wanted $200 but I got it for $100 because as a gun store they more or less just wanted it gone. They told me that it was deactivated by the US soldier who brought it back from Afghanistan because he wasn’t allowed to bring back a functioning rifle. If I remember correctly it was passed on by the soldier and they didn’t want the rifle so they sold it. I don’t know much about the rifle besides where and when it was made and how it got here. How and why it made it into Afghanistan is really speculation and guess work.
It’s missing a lot of important parts, the bolt has been completely stripped but I assume that is to do with it being brought back. It has a completely different sight on it and all the stock pieces besides the main stock have been replaced. The buttstock has been carved with a language that I can’t read, I was told it says 303. The round it's chambered in. I was going to restore it and buy all its original parts back but I have leaned towards leaving it as is.
Cheers,
Bodhi
