I feel the same way about the ones under 1 mil. It took me along time to get my hands one. This was a stripped receiver when i got it so it was more gratifying building it up.

Nice looking rifles
I was lucky, mine was a LL but I found it in a gun shop in my town in 1976. First one I had actually had hands on. 328219 SA...all correct. Was that ever a lucky grab...since then I've had lots of low numbers, but none in the shape of my first.Quote:

That GHS looks arsenal new that is a beauty.
It's pretty nice...there's a full set of these pics around here somewhere. I don't think it's any nicer than yours, just different. They all have their own shining stars.
