I couldn't get my hands on it as the clerks were busy but this is what I saw. It looked like any other but it had what appeared to have a grenade launcher and was fitted with a bayo like the M44. Was there anything like this made? David Went back today to get a closer look. It is amazing what something looks like across the counter compared to up close. It was a 91/30 and they had placed bayo over the barrel. That made is look like a folding bayo and grenade launcher. I guess I learn something new every day. David Your Signature ...

No harm No foul! Your in the learning mode which is a darn good place to be! Enjoy the holidays and keep your eyes open. Bill

Neat looking with an extension on the rear site to act as the grenade lauching site. Mike
