Very nice. Was never able to pick up the Carbine. Really missed a great chance in 1985 when Woolworths (IIRC) had them for $ 149 or $ 199.

I THINK it was maybe a Woolworths in the Concord Mall that had them in the back corner of the store, in racks, anybody could pick them up and check them out unsupervised.
I wish the same as you but I think I was only about 7 yrs old !

Picked up my Garand in March and am a newb, so reading and watching as many videos as I can find to learn.
Sorry for the cut-off pic, trying to get used to POOFA.

Sorry Zeke, just saw your post.
She's a Springfield and the stock was replaced by the CMP.
