Default Commie Guns Anyone?

In this post-Cold War era, there are a lot of nifty guns available from former members of the Communist bloc. Here are some of my favorites:

Interesting.

About 45-50 years ago some chaps over here used one of your Boyes(?) .55 cal. anti-tank rifles to blast their way into a money vault of a large armored car company (Brinks).

Soon after the USA made anything bigger than 0.50" rifled bore size a "Destructive Device" by definition. In more recent years this rule has been relaxed to allow rifled barrel shotguns and other sporting arms.

I do not keep up with the fine points of USA law (NFA) on anti-tank rifles, but suspect that these are still regulated here.
