It symbolized friendship, craftsmanship, and a shared vision of bringing East and West together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With only&nbsp;<strong>100 Gold Jubilee rifles ever produced<\/strong>, these extraordinary pieces rarely emerge from museums and private collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, we&#8217;re excited to share an exclusive look at one of these treasures from Arsenal&#8217;s private vaults, recently photographed and documented ahead of an upcoming auction.&nbsp;These rifles rarely are seen but in most cases they are brought out to the public to support 2<em>nd<\/em> Amendment and patriotic causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Happy 107th Birthday, Mikhail Kalashnikov!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Arsenal Inc. \u2014 Honoring History.
