I've had this thing for a few years now if I recall picked it up for a little over 200.00 in good shape wood is a little ugly... Shoots good happy wish I could find surplus ammo for it.

They were brought in by Interarmco, Alelxanderia, VA, and sold to retailers like Winfield Arms, Hi Hunter, Ye Old Hunter, Golden State Arms Co, LA Ordnance Depot, etc., where they sold for about $24.95 @ and surplus ammo was given with them...sometimes.
Early into the war in SE Asia the US government had Ed Stembridg, The Gun Room, Paramount Studios, LA, CA, cut down about 50 03 Springfield rifles, 30,06. to a 'jungle carbine' configuration based on the British version. They were all shipped to Laos and Viet Nam but I don't know of any of them coming back to US. (I know because I used to have lunch with Ed Strembridg and his crew every week day in the early 1960's)
