Ah, so if the police use it then it’s called a “Patrol Rifle” but if you have it it’s called an “Assault Rifle”.
Yes, I’m sure that makes the gun-grabbers feel better.
Don’t laugh! After the 1968 gun control law was passed it was illegal to import 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles into the USA.
It was still LEGAL to import 5 shot bolt action rifles, off the same assembly line IF they had been issued to the police.
