I proudly present Arab ex-Enfield percussion gun, twin to those discussed in previous post:

The overall gun is consistent with the thesis included in the references which we owe to Ibrahim:

i.e.: much of wood from stock is removed, the rear sight is replaced with simpler one, capucines are suited to the taste.
The back of the stock is from separate part of wood reinforced with alu.
The ramrod is original.

Take a special note on the KSA coat of arms (which is visible though not so clearly also on the picture in #10 post of previously mentioned thread) and what seems to be a caliber mark on one of the capucines probably made with the European stamp with to more marks which are mystery for me.

Going back to the previous post - could you guys close it with the remarks how ended the troubles with the shipping?
