1 million euros........

Not sure if anyone here can read german but a friend of mine from Austria sent me this article.

This gun is 1 million Euros. That's 1,249,495.85 USD at the exchange today.

It's chambered in .308 Winchester. You would think for something as expensive and rare they would pick a more exotic caliber.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

That is one of the ugliest guns I have ever seen. Please be assured that this is not typical European style.

I can't even imagine the level of skill, creativity, and experience required to deliberately make something so unbelievably hideous. It looks like an untalented 4th grader's craft project.

Allen Day wouldn't touch it. That gun is uglier than a basket full of assholes.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Allen's guns are built to 'go', not 'show'.
