Al it caught my eye!! I had a few years ago when you could get universals for $75.00 and Iver Johnsons for $150.00.

I started looking for one a little while back and cant find a decent one for under $550.00 and a good Iver Johnson is running around $750 seen a few plainfield paratroopers go for 700 to 800 with the original folding stock. Inland M1A1/M1 paratrooper carbines are as high as 4 to 5 grand.

If I had any idea they would bring what they bring now I would have bout a 100 of them back them. I even remember Woolworth having them for $75.00 and SKS's for $65.00 now the dang SKS's Are fetching 2 or 300 at times.

Looks like you guys had a great time....

Richard....... I traded a gun for it that I was asking $300 for ....... then sold it for a profit......

"The guy said Naah I cant do that" When I asked him to trade me even up...... Then he came back and said...... you gotta give me $50 boot.......then I will do it..... I said well, I would half to really think about that..... He took two steps away....then back..... then said...... "I will do it!"

I remember those Woolworth days

Thats how I got my mouser 98 and the old Springfield 0 6 I used to have......
