Be sure to take the gun out of the stock and if possible remove the lower handguard to look for weld marks where the barrel was tacked to the receiver. If so it is a reactivated drill rifle and possibly not suitable for live fire.

Which ever store your closest to....GO-G0-G0!
If you really want to hold it in your hands and check it out before you buy, by all means, go the either the North store of the South store. They guys behind the counter will help you pick one out. Besides, it's great fun to look at all those pieces of history and fondle them. Have fun and good luck!!!!! .....:)
The Danish returns from the CMP that I've seen are all WWII serial numbered guns. Granted, I have only seen a small number (CMP guns). Perhaps the rifles purchased by the Danes were new?Quote:
