Notes from the gun shop...

Although it was a pretty slow day overall it was interesting for a couple of reasons.  First, today seemed to be the day that the talkers and gawkers came through including our most recent good customer who comes in as much as 4 times a day, several days a week.  He's a bit of a conspiracy theorist and not exactly a people person.

GSG-5
The other interesting thing occurred first thing.  A customer brought back a GSG copy of the MP5 in .22 LR.  He hadn't had the gun apart but said that after firing one shot where the bullet didn't make it down range he quit using the gun.  Good thing.  Now, we don't know how this happened but there is a hole in the side of the barrel, as if the barrel drill wandered off.  It seems to me that I looked down the bore of this rifle before it was sold (and it was a used gun) and I don't remember anything odd.  So, I wonder what is going on.  Was this barrel made up to run some sort of scam? 

So here follow the photos I was able to take between customers.  Some aren't so good.  I'll caption them and let you have a look see...

From the chamber end you can see the hole wander off...
A rod follows the hole right out the side, no place else to go...
