In April 1978 I traveled up to Rojan, Punjab from Karachi where Baluch friends from the Mazari tribe met met me and took me up into Bugti country. (You have to consult the Baluch/Brahui line - the worst line ever posted on DGS per a knowledgeable poster - to know whom I'm talking about). It was the day Da'ud Khan was overthrown in Kabul, the Migs passing over the US Embassy to hit the Presidential palace, the American school of Karachi kids up for an athletic event cowering inside,
Anyway...lots of SxS's in this picture taken at a jirga early morning 29 April, and I would give a lot to know what were their makes. I've asked the few survivors from that trip - most have died of old age, Baluch feuds, etc., if they can help identify the guns. When you got up into the mountains...nothing but 303 Enfields with 1200 yard sights. I had carried a little snub nose .357 revolver up with me. Talk about being useless!!
