6.5x55 Swedish Mauser
« on: May 19, 2017, 06:23:03 PM »
In a local pawn shop I do a lot of business with.  http://capital-pawn.com/capitalpawn/

Maybe 50% blue left, good wood, great bore, micrometer target sight, $395, plus all guns are 10% off list price right now.  He had a really nice No 4 Enfield, but that followed me home . . .

Did your wife let you keep it?  I suppose you had to promise to feed it, clean it, and keep it out of the kitchen . . .

Yep, it generally stays in the basement, except when I let it outside to play! "I will love it and feed it and name it George!"

Ned, once again you demonstrate why you've risen in the ranks. A classic quote from a classic cartoon. Looking forward to the muster, see you then.

All true!  As Al once said sitting by the fire, "Where else can you dress in authentic 19th Century uniforms and discuss classic Bugs Bunny cartoons?!"
