Bitnam urban legend

[revwardoc]

I was recently told astory about a GI in 'Nam who decided to ship home an AK-47, but couldn't do it while it was whole. So he took it apart and shipped it home, piece by piece. A couple of weeks after he sent the last piece home he received a large package from his wife...the re-assembled AK. She brought the pieces to a gunsmith who put them together and she sent it back under the assumption that he wanted her to do just that.

Years ago I was told a similar tale but that it was a Marine officer with a captured Russian handgun.

Have any of you heard such tales?:cd:
