#1 Picked up this little beauty for net $60 when you figure in the goodies the seller included such as a 1,000 rounds of 30 caliber ammo. It's a 1944 Winchester but has a lot of mixed parts including the non-USGI stock set I'm replacing this weekend. When I'm finished it will be back to pure Winchester with all parts proper for the rifle's vintage.

This will be KiloBravo's LFG. I'm getting a BFG Monday, stay tuned.

#3 Congrats on your find. I doubt $60. would have paid the sales tax on the ammo if bought commercially, that's if you could find 1000 rnds.

#5 Its a beaut GB, not doubt.

Unfortunately, our homegrown fascists still have feverish visions of disarmed slaves.

Let me share an Aesop story my daughter read to me last night: The Thieves and the Cock

Some thieves once broke into a house, but found nothing in it worth carrying off but a cock. The poor cock said as much for himself as a cock could say, urging them to remember his services in crowing to get people up in time for their work. "Nay," said one of the thieves, "you had better say nothing about that. You alarm people and keep them waking, so that it is impossible for us to rob in comfort."

#6 #1 Picked up this little beauty for net $60 when you figure in the goodies the seller included such as a 1,000 rounds of 30 caliber ammo. I had one of these babies some time ago. It cost considerably more than $60 bucks. I didn't get 1000 rounds of ammo. What a deal!

For a moment I thought someone was following the example of this regime and trying to redistribute some of the taxpayers ammo compliments of TSA--but alas it was just teenagers creating mischief.
