I traded into this this weekend and as I look closely a “mystery” comes to life
Here is my cheesy cobbled guess
made by Colt, sold/exported to Russia
someone there engraved (or is it Colt engraving?) gun and fitted it (see barrel is serialed to match gun) with barrels
forend looks original however stock looks to be changed
then imported back to the states by cai
sound correct?
why would a higher dollar American gun find its way to Russia then have money put into it to re-barrel? Looks by virtue of sling attachment point to have been hunted, maybe a wealthy Russian who hunted lol
please chime in with any correction/additions and of course thoughts of value
thanks!
