Nice! I miss mine. I used to have one with a paratrooper stock. Had a KB with an old load and split the receiver. Sprayed me and three kids I had taken to the range in the face with shrapnel. Got spooked and sold it. Now wish I had just replaced the receiver. ;1

Enjoy it! They are super firearms!

Well I did'nt have it for long. ;g

I sold it off so I could buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend. (Now fiancee). ;f

The best part is she doesn't mind my gun hobby. She helped my pick out a nice gun safe and made sure it had enough room for her .35 Remington pump and Postal Meter M1 Carbine!

Besides, she would probably kill me if I tried to sell her! ;e

m1 carbine or a fiancee? hmm, it'd take me more than two weeks to make a conscious decision on that one.

So go ahead and get married. ;)

hey sorry to hear about the loss but yes you did good as far as the weapon and all the goodies there is a gun shop near me that has a carbine (an underwood) they want $700 just for the weapon (he is high on his prices but the gun is in top shape (looks unfired) i consider myself lucky last christmas the wife got me a G-21 and for my birthday she got me a BFR in 45-70 (its sweet!!!)
over the 5 years we have been together she has added 19 weapons to my collection hope your soon to be wife is as supportive!! :)
