Doing research on those two rifles led me down the long and sometimes expensive path of milsurp collecting. 50+ rifles later my wife says I can quit any time now. Montani Semper Liberi

We both sporterized 'em-who didn't @ that time?-and I later traded mine even for a Llama .45 pistol which later also went away in another trade. These were the first of many.....

Included bayonet, scabbard and 20 rounds of milsurp ammo. "Mail ordered" from the back cover of some magazine. Greasy but impressive. "Disappeared" from my possession during my first year of USAF service; younger brother said "I dunno...". NRA Endowment member LECS #2

Oh yeah, cost me $249!!
