Did any of them have any of those funky Ethiopian crests and associated markings?

Great video. Too bad you couldn’t check the caliber on the last one.

I don't remember exactly, but a lot of the Ethiopian guns from IO do have Amharic markings; usually rack numbers or similar.

Thanks for the video! I prefer these to the „yet another plastic AR clone” stuff. Have you ever been tempted to travel to Ethiopia and go looking for some friendly neighborhood blacksmith banging away at 19th century french rifles? How does the stuff get into the crates in the first place?Travelling scrap merchants? And I guess there are no „wall hangers” in Ethiopia. That would be very interesting although quite challenging, I guess.

Interesting stuff. Its still a bit wild to me that you guys import stuff from Ethiopia to the US :)
