This is a Vietnam war AK47 bringback

an actual "AK47" at that.

There was a SEAL some years back that got busted for bringing in AKs and trying to sell them.

There was an actual Chinese made Type-56, a milled one, which was captured from a Vietcong medic, the guy had the gun papered as a bringback and registered as a machinegun. Recently, the guy got it sold at an auction, the gun was in fantastic condition and it had the story attached, as well as the bringback paperwork. Ian of ForgottenWeapons did a video on it.

Normally, something like this would go for maybe $20 000 or $30 000, maybe more if it has some good historical provenance to it, either way, a pretty good chunk of cash, popular assault rifles which are fully transferable generally do.

The thing is, two rich guys got into a heated bidding war at the auction, and the gun ended up being sold for like $143 000+, and I guess it just goes to show that, sometimes, life will just suck your dick.

>I know that modern day us troops are forbidden legally to bring back weapons captured from the enemy

Just out of curiosity--when did this become an official policy and why? No one had an issue with it back in WWII, after all.
