Yeah that rifle WAS special but truth is a LOT of rifles were special and had similar engravings on the stock. Britain said it "would try" to return 'em, and a few they did, but not nearly as many as they could have, a lot were destroyed because the queen is afraid of the people.
If they asked for rifles, I'd send 'em a copy of their insurrection act or whatever the fuck it is. Fight with that.
