    I got to handle one at a gun show I went to, and by memory of who I was with, it was about 20 years ago!

    The French have a real flare ... for making the butt ugliest weapons of any type. Been at it since the Matchlock musket.

    Really. I wouldn't pay $1000 for that thing. I might buy it for $500 just so I could resell it to someone who wanted a thing like that.

    I might go there if I was feeling pretty rich right now...
    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    It's a collector piece. Few were imported before they got banned.

    It's also no longer in production.

    So even if the '89 ban was lifted, no new ones will ever show up

    For ten grand it would be cheaper just to declare war on France and pick up a couple off the ground.
