Afghan (Jezail) Rifle

[tony75]

Hello

What are your thoughts on this rifle?

* I know very little of this type of rifle except from what I have read
* Not sure of the caliber?
* The decor was mostly hand crafted?
* Tourist piece/Wall hanger or Legit?

Thank you
Tony

A U.S. nickel is 0.835 inch in diameter, but the muzzel seems to be flared slightly, so the actual caliber of the bore would be less; maybe around 12 gauge to 16 gauge. It appears to be a smoothbore, not a rifle.

Hello Richard

Thank you for the help and Info

It looks real enough but has no lock at all and is in such poor condition that I would not consider it collectible. These are not exactly rare so if you want one I would wait for something that is at least intact and in better condition. They are out there.

Thats a Bazaar Bargain if I've ever seen one!
Have to agree with Watchdog unless you want this one as a decoration piece.

Sold for a desert song.

Another horrible Afghan nasty. There are so many kicking about at the moment as Watchdog says that unless it is really cheap I'd look elsewhere.
