Yes... It is hard to know weather to laugh or cry that someone could have made that ridiculous statement in public. |

I can't believe only one person has mentioned Paul Mauser.
You guys may not think so, but every single bolt action rifle that cocks on opening and has fwd locking lugs is a Mauser knock off. And I can just about guarantee that there are more of them than anything Kalashnikov has ever designed. |
