Combat/police recruit id

[Chevelleface]

Curious if anyone can Id this from the pictures? I was told it’s a police recruit but I also heard only combat recruits have talon holes?

Don't have one but Busse Collector says it's a combat recruit by the talon hole, but the butt shape looks more like a police recruit

I also found this old pic that shows a police recruit with a talon hole

Yep I'd say it's a police recruit then.

Is it INFI or A2?

I think it’s a2 because the Infi versions have a larger middle hole, the guy I got it from said it was d2

Yes if you search some old police recruit threads many old hogs mentioned the middle hole being larger on Infi versions.

Huh... I always thought “talon hole” referred to the hole in this area:



Color me confused.

Not always. I have an INFI Police Recruit variant, only the ahem- *lanyard hole* () is smaller.
