Now if I could only find an Auto Ordnance M1 for a good price....
Ok, just a thought here. I have advertised in major news papers, for m1c's. As tons of guys got dcm rifles, lots of years ago for under $50 bucks, an offer, for many of them, is something you should explore.. So, my ad goes something like this .."I've got $150 dollars for your M1 Carbine", call BR549, see, short and sweet. Now, most will scream, .."ARE YOU KIDDING ME"!!! But I guarantee, you'll get several calls, several, and just how many do you want, anyways? Same thing for Garands. The only real problem is, were in the want ads do you think the Mark, is looking. I've had hits in everything from the Garage Sale Section, to sporting goods. Don't give up if no one responds, you may either need to switch sections or news papers or cities. The best part of this strategy, is that they are happy to take your money and feel real good about the deal, never dreaming they could have gotten so much for their weapon, that was totally covered in dirt and dust. How 'bout this, .."$50 bucks for your old beat up German Mauser", yup, works every-time. Ok, if you do this, you owe me a 450b dinner, like the one Bushmeister made for us..t
