Russian Capture is just that. However, be careful you don't buy an east german gun, because thats different.

"Usually" a russian capture will have certain grips and also many times have a "X" on the left by the serial number (not always); they are literally guns brought back by the russian from germany and also from captured stock and soldier guns and then stored in Russia.
