Michael, Michael, Michael,You sold a very rare short action Mauser in the hopes of finding a similar SPRINGFIELD? The diagnosis is bad: patriotus delirium.
Yep, I get that a lot. At one time I had my way with pre-war custom sporters as there was no interest in them and they could be had for a song. I don't sing well. Now some guy in, of all places, Alaska has been writing about them so now when I want to add to the collection something must go. Not complaining, I bought good stuff years ago that now affords me the opportunity to upgrade or downgrade, as the case may be.
