1. I finally found one for sale at Allens Armory like another post suggested. I put in my order for the VG condition one today, Now just send off my license copy and of course the money and she is mine.

2. Let me see, I have a carcano and the Austrian Mannlicher coming as well as one more Swedish Mauser straight bolt, and the FR#8. Im done for the month.

3. Redstar, leave me alone. :D

I got 2 from Allan last week. Damn nice, with great wood and perfect bores. I passed one off and kept the other. It is a little stiff with the bolt, but then again, I am a lefty trying to work a straight bolt, not too easy. Doesn't kick hardly at all, way less than my Garand. The flash hider doesn't work all that well, but then, it has a tough job to do. The bayonets are pretty cool with that wave. Still have to try it out at the 100m range though. Makes a nice match with my CETME. LAter.

1. I wish I had of, these things are getting expensive and scarce. I was happy to find this one. 95% parkerized, mirror bore, matching serial on bolt and receiver. Only flaw I could find so far was the mismatched upper. I will tell more when it is delivered.;)
