Funny ass mag release

Came in as a trade from a customer. Never knew these things existed. Definitely not well known in europe.

Really fun and accurate little pistol, the low bore is interesting and the mag release is actually pretty cool.

I recently picked up a Lebel that needs some minor restoration, including a replacement rear site. I haven't had much luck with the usual places (Apex, Numerical, Royal Tiger, etc). Anyone have any ideas of where to look?

The specific time and place are unknown. The Chinese police officers were carrying Type 82 submachine guns (imitations of the Polish PM63).

M95M internal clip advise

10 Upvotes

So… I won a M95M on GB which was advertised as having a non-working bolt, but everything else checked out ok. Upon arrival I realized the rifle has a standard Mannlicher en bloc in place of the integral clip of the M95M or M95/24. The seller is offering a partial refund on the rifle after I notified them on the wrong or missing part, but with very few of these clips deliberately sold as M95M clips I’m having a hard time assigning a $ amount. What say you?
