I have 2 in my files. Now 3. We need to update the S/N database page, circle arsenals aren't even mentioned.  :-[

We just have a few photo documented examples of this stamp.  We don't know who, what, when , where, why, or when.  Many photos of stamps like this came from Tracker1s collecting of arsenal pics.     

Did you buy this rifle?   If so, we need alot of pics for the non 26 component configuration section.

Only 2 now 3!  8) It's on GB. I entered a low bid on it yesterday, expecting it was oddball but not that uncommon.  Has a lot of B-West EP on it. I'll post the link.

This is the one I showed you a couple of weeks ago RM, so maybe only 2. Interesting arsenal for sure. A mismatch with a missing mag at that price wasn’t enticing enough for me. When I asked a question the seller’s response indicated that he had phallic-cranium syndrome, poor bugger, so that cinched it  rofl

I’m glad a member of the Files is going for it though  thumb1 That’d be a really cool arsenal to have in the collection Matchka  8)

I've been down the rough, very rough road with this seller, P32. Seńor Head is one very negative individual. Bid is now over $100. Hi bidder is a regular on the GB's SKS scene.
My question is : what's up with all of the EP? Most I've ever seen. Is this 'normal' for a B-West Sporter (if it's actually a Sporter)?

The EP is normal.. some of B-West's first imports were EP'ed.... this was done way back when before the stipulations on import stamps were set in stone, or the stamp regulations tightened.. like way back, when top covers were import stamped and such.

Good to know, GM.  If the bidding gets outta hand, I'll probably pass.

Ah, my bad, I hadn't even opened the latest link. He's had this listed at a $455 opening bid for weeks (as recently as the last cycle), with no interest. I made him an offer and heard nothing, but that was after some not profane, but rather terse and snarky exchanges. It's much more interesting now  thumb1

Heck, in talking to this guy, GM possibly could have gotten himself banned from the internet!   popcorn2
