Hi WildEagle and welcome to the Forums.

I'm trying the whole Jedi thing, but I just can't see anything... so, either there is some commercial interference in The Force tonight, or I'm out of calibration -  :P

Photos please...  :)

WildEagle,

Welcome to ALR.  Are you asking about the rifle pictured in your profile?  Unfortunately that picture is too small to be of much help.  If you can post some pictures, full length and closeups, especially of the lock and all barrel markings, the folks here will be better equipped to offer opinions.
