Of course it would really be a novelty, I can't see trying to hit anything smaller than a bus at 500 meters with a 9mm pistol. I'm sure an original stock is more rare than the gun itself.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775363118892957212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-38095174651898737562011-10-28T09:30:11.196-04:002011-10-28T09:30:11.196-04:00Okay, here it is, straight from the BATFEIEIO:
