I'm sure our soldiers and contractors have a lot more flexibility in this area, for sending back souvenirs of this nature.
Bring backs are a heck of a lot harder than it used to be, especially when you’re talking about class III weapons. So much so that guys are getting jammed up. Last time instead of bringing the whole rifles home, at least one person I know just brought back all the wood stocks and used them to make knife handles on custom knives. These knives have a story to tell. Especially when you know how the wood was harvested.
