Hi John:
In the enfield wood thread, you made the comment:
"The last 1903 rifles I saw was in Greece a few months ago, on the way to the foundry, brand new, still in the original shipping crates...."
That's really got me wondering (not to mention weeping).
I guess it means that some stuff is still out there? And with all respect to the SKS's you're able to find, am thinking more in terms of Lee Enfields, Garands, M1 Carbines, 1903s, Mausers, etc.
To educate us, what would the issues be about Marstar trying to get this stuff when it comes up-?
Take the 1903s as an example.
Can appreciate there's got to be enough product to make it worthwhile. Are there 'political' issues, even about obsolete firearms like 1903's? But what are the other challenges?
Your perspective would be interesting, because this is a world that the average consumer knows nothing about, and it would be interesting to understand a bit more about the obstacles you face.
Thanks!
