While Ron is absolutely correct, I have run across a couple of carbines with gold (presumably) plates attached to the butt stock indicating that they were presented as prizes to military folks from a senior officer or unit. Not military but military related.
How about the price on that rig? The casing is cool, but worth that much above and beyond the $15K or so that '02s generally go for these days.
It is certainly pretty, tho....
