Where do you find surplus arms?

[Gil Martin]

I agree with everything you said. About ten years ago, I visited a gun shop and asked a young clerk if he had any military rifles. He replied that a rare Japanes Type I came in that morning. I asked to see it and nearly fell over. It was mint, matching, with the bayonet and original sling. The price was $80 and I did the paperwork in record time. Seems the widow of a veteran dropped off some guns after her husband passed away. The secret is being at the right place at the right time. All the best...
