    Nice price from Aimsurplus. Wish I would've bought more than just one back in the day. Get one before they're sold out.

      Check Simpsons LTD for a price comparison. AIM also tends to remove the slings and muzzle caps and sell them separately

        It never fails to amaze me. I bought my first 1911 long rifle in 1959, the year before I joined the service and I paid $12.50 for the rifle and one box of ammunition. LOL

            I bought a lot of them at Big 5 for $95 to $125 and got some real jewels by picking through all the rifles in the back room. I only have one left now.

              Same here.

              I got my first two milsurps, K31's, in 2006 for $89 each. My sons and I still shoot them in a military silhouette match.

                Its silly how inexpensive these great guns were at one point. Didn't seem like shops could get rid of them fast enough at a time when cheaper Mosins and Mausers were all the rage.

                Sure glad I picked up a few when I could.
