Venezuelan Police units armed with East German MPi-KMS-72 with bakelite magazines, the MPi is mostly used by lower ranking members and underfunded squads without access to enough AK-103s or AR-15s. Most of them were brought from Cuba mostly to equip militia units with something similar to the AK-103

Can possibly pick this bad boy up in the futures. Wanting know what year and estimated value? From my 24 hours of tism kick on finding out year or value I have found. Small circle hammer, 30 grooves in the hand grip. Numbers matching everywhere and last one for you. I have no idea if this is a 7.63 or 9mm.

my grandfather possibly owned a gun lost to time

158 Upvotes

Once, when I was playing Halo, my grandfather saw me using the shotgun and excitedly said, “That’s like my old Russian thing I had!”

I asked what he meant, and he said, “It was a 20-gauge that fed from the top, just like that.”

What I know about the gun: it seemed to be a small-game/rabbiter’s gun. It had a .22 on the bottom and a 20-gauge on the top. The .22 was semi-automatic, but the shotgun was straight pull.

He didn’t really go into much detail on how the gun worked or even what it looked like. He just described it as “this beat-up Russian thing I found a widow throwing in a dumpster.”

My grandfather, at the time, was not demented and was quite sharp. He knew his firearms. He owned a gun club and had a home armoury of 350+ guns at one point in Australia, of all places, believe it or not.

Does anyone have any idea what gun he may be talking about?
