Thank you for your very kind words, H. A great value coming from you.

I have just purchased an NRA Sporter that has been 'uprgaded' by 'Griffin & Howe'. It is a very nice rifle in beautiful condition. I THINK it began life as an NRA Sporter -( s/n1288xx). Can anyone...

I have some pics of a carbine conversion I would like to post, however they are all about 425 kb in size. The limit for a jpg for posting here is 195. Is there a way this limit can be increased??

Sight Hoods.
Thank you for your kind words, H.

This is my M2. I have had it for about 40 years. And some NRA Springfields.
I paid $5,700 for a 99% gun last year and $1,400 for another that had had its barrel dovetailed, the dovetail repaired, and re-blued.

My Springfield M2 and two NRA Sporters. Notice the reversed safety and modified striker.
