    Holiday Chuckle

    No connection or intended malice, but these auctions made me smile. Hope you all had a nice Christmas!

          ON the first rifle....despite what the seller claims in his description...YES, THE REAR SIGHT IS ON BACKWARDS!!!!

          [Maybe having the rear sight on backwards is some "fad" that has swept through the ranks of the Sporterized 03A3 crowd I am not familiar with.]

              Ahhh yes - pawn shops. Normally, they have CRAP, but, also remember that, like Sgt. Schultz, many of them know nothing. That is why an aquaintance of mine picked up an $8,000 M1881 .45-80 long-range trapdoor in Florida last year for 10 cents on the dollar. Ya gotta look at every ad.

                  I used to check the pawn shops around here every week or so. Never found a bargan and everything was over priced.

                      Like gun shows, go to 10, 'may' buy at one. But its cheap entertainment when retired.

                      You can never go home again.

                          That's me, too, Dave. Sometimes, I wish I had the time to check at yard sales, pawn shows, etc. but being retired is hardwork!!

                              Well, I've found some serious bargains at the local pawns. In Cheyenne, I found a .38-44 Heavy Duty S&W, picked it up, with holster, for $175, marked as a Model 10. In Blackfoot, a 1903A4, marked "03A3" on the tag, and said it was a .308....$250, OTD. Several 03's, including a Mk I with ALL the unique pieces installed, in a cut-down, butchered Mk I stock. Ya just gots to keep at it, and the buys will surface!!!!
