The Royal Marines special returns ! (CGN Private Ad)

Ad posted on CGN ....

Be careful with the second one. It's been floating around and trying to be flogged at the Orangeville gun show for at least a year, or at least its twin has been. :lol:

There's been a few of those sold on CGN. Milarm had a few a couple years ago.

Very rare, you know.

Golden State Arms in the USA made those in the 60's and somehow the Royal Marines story got attached to them. Told a certain Edmonchuck dealer they were a phony but he said he got more for them that way. The name is omitted to protect the guilty. There was two models: one with the middle band moved back and a new slot cut with the forend piece just rounded off while another model had a stamped metal 'schnooble" nosecap for the rear handguard. Buy the rifle and NOT the story...
