My how times have changed
Mike Moss,
You post reminded me of my $15.00 British Enfields and $25.00 Springfields and '98 Mausers. I really miss those days. Take care... Joe |

I have had two and still have one i like the round and the action is about the smothest you will find.
I shoot mine more for fun then anthing else becouse i have much better to hunt with i think you could do better if you are looking for a collection piece as in the way of price and condition. |

Classic military surplus arms are not cheap today. Hang in there and another one will come along. All the best...

I recall when the DCM had A3-03 Springfields for $10! The good old days! There was a gunshop in CT we called Charlie Bentons. I tried to be there after payday on a Friday. The place was in an old chicken coop and very small and crowded with customers. While standing there watching the goins on Charlie handed me a trap door Springfield and said to put it in the rack behind me. The store was too crowded for Charlie to get through. I looked at the tag on it and the price was $25. It was a 45-70 with a rod bayonet. I handed it back to Charlie and said that I would take it. That was back in the late 50's or so. I shot the trap door some but I was never a collector of that kind of gun and I traded it off. |
