This is an interesting piece seen at the Saville military museum Spain. It looks to be built from a 1936 Izhavik. There was also a MN built into a 43(?)mm grenade laucher but my photos of it were accidentally deleted, argh! The museum is not very big but it does have an incredible display of small arms mostly dating from the second half of the 1800s to today. An interesting side note for Star wars fans, the same building was where they filmed the palace of Naboo.

Nice clean job mounting those sights on it as well.

To bad it can't tell us what it was used for.

Smugglers used to make up things like that to hide in their coats orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr??????????????????????
 
Is that in Seville? "Demilitarization" of modern society in EU made Spain move all kind of military museums from Madrid to Toledo. That won't stop us. Toledo is the nice place to visit and just a train ride away. There are lot of guns in Toledo. And all museums worth visiting, plan at least whole day there. Of course no pictures, haha. Of course somehow I had to compensate for train ride.
 
Yes this is Seville. Spain on a whole has been great in all regards. If your thing is good food and castles this is the place. My only complaint is the heat, almost the middle of October and its still 35 degrees during the day.
