....cool!! Thanks for the link..... I always thought you had to go by the crest, or some cryptic code, or some weird turkish script on the sights to be able to tell where it came from... unless, of course it says "Oberndorf" or something like that on it..although, BYF IS a little cryptic, to the untaught, I suppose.. My swede is a Carl Gustav..says so on the front ring.. and I found out my old rusted out Mosin Nagant is Finnish.. tikka.... wish my Uncle hadn't let it rust... thanks again.
