Steyr Aug's. Not really that an uncommon weapon, however, about 1500 were sent by Saudi Arabia to arm anti Assad groups in Syria.
SA had the serial numbers obliterated as to remove tracing back to purchase source. Many of these Augs found their way into ISIS hands in Iraq. Specifically, Mosul. I know of one A1 which was purveyed through the black market to an anti ISIS group. Cost was approximately $4k USD. |

I think the serial numbers here are readable, interestingly enough. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ej1PLdOWoAI4HOi?format=jpg&name=medium It was available through a black market dealer that had no familiarity with its manual of arms, and thought the rear take down pin/swivel was how the Aug selected between FA and semi. Basically, no knowledge of the Aug and the trigger at half pull being semi and all the way back for FA. Aug internals showed much use, so the Steyr had logged some rounds. An aside. Aug mags were not common in Mosul at the time, very hit or miss availability, and if priced less than $100USD for a factory 30 was thought a "buy now" price. Lol. Also, HK MP5K's were not uncommon. Clean specimens commanded about $4500USD. (9mm ammo was in short supply, and when available (black market) cost was about $1USD per round. |

Glock 19's were issued to the Iraqi Army and National Police. I believe about 700k total in number. G19's were selling for about $2500USD in Mosul during Isis timeframe. Isis also considered anyone found to be in possession of a G19 to be affiliated with the Iraqi government, and the penalty for such was execution. |

Sigs, Glocks, Cz's readily available in Mosul presently. Only a matter of price... Many Turkish copies of aforementioned currently available, at lesser costs.
Another aside. When Isis came into control of Mosul, 2014, Iraqi Army fled, and abandoned warehouses stocked with US supplied weaponry. (My familiarity is limited to small arms: M16A4's, M4's, munitions, and whatever else.) Colt Commando's were pricey. Many Isis had M4's and A4's barrels cut by local gun smiths to Commando length. ( No knowledge of functionality afterward.) M16 ammo was evidently in abundance in storage facilities, so as AK 7.62x39 supplies were exhausted, and ammo supply spotty, M16 variants became the rifle of choice. |
