Its too bad I missed the boat on those kits.  Mines just a pile of parts, no letter or anything.  I have no idea where it came from other than it was made in Russia.

This sounds like a nice one for $300.  I don't know the seller.

Palestinean Liberation Organization.

They were Russian military rifles that the Russians sold to the PLO as surplus weapons.  Of course the PLO used them to fight the Israelis.... the Israelis captured a bunch of the weapons, and they turned up as parts kits.

Basically a genuine terrorist weapon

I'm convinced the butt on mine was shot. There is a hole filled with some kind of putty and with the buttplate removed you can see an exit hole on the inside....... its possible.
