October purchases

[enefgee]

Since it's the 3rd already and no one else has, I'm starting this with a nice Royal Thai Police M1 Carbine. Not technically Mil surp, but then the RTP are kind of a cross over unit especially during the period that these carbines were in use. Incidentally it was made by Howa, in Japan on USGI equipment. A really neat late style M1 Carbine. Pics to follow.

ETA - finally got time to take some pictures

Like the EE you need to dig deep and dig often. It was at the bottom of the second page - and unfortunately it was alone.

I looked at it as well but lets just say OP paid a fair price for it.

I would have paid anything for that K98 to complete my Mauser wish list.

Don't say stuff like that, I have been considering selling mine.

Well name your price mate, if it's anything like the one posted on the first page, we could have ourselves a lucrative deal.

Just picked up this very nice No4 Mk1 at the Waverly Gun show outside of Halifax yesterday - my first gun show! I was torn between this beauty and a Ruger Single Six, but I made the right call... I hope.

It has a 5-groove bore and Mk1 sight (just the way I like it). Bore is PERFECT. Story on this, it was owned by some codger who left it in his basement for 50 years. Fellow I bought it from refinished the wood (its all original parts). Blueing is excellent aside from the bolt knob. Matching bolt, receiver and magazine. A real beaut. Not a Longbranch (Fazakerly) but decent, esp. for a 1942 manufacture.

Cant wait to shoot it.
