Photo?

This article could use a photo of its subject. C'mon, it has a picture of an army officer who liked the firearm but not the firearm itself? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 01:44, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it would be nice to have a photograph of the firearm. I have looked for a freely available one, but have not been able to find one online. Thanks! MountainRail (talk) 11:50, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
