Looks like a great memorial weekend

It was offered to me a week after buying a new 1911 and 2 carbines.
Luckily the seller and I have a good history and he allowed me to make 3 payments on it.

Now don't judge me by my photos, mosquitos are out in force and I just snapped what I could before it got dark or light headed from loss of blood.
Have only wiped some grudge off the wood with a oily rag and wiped some dust off the outer metal.
I'll step it up with pics, when I get a chance to do a break down and cleaning.

Thx,

Charlie, very, very, nice. Congratulations. Nicest find I've seen in a while. I would gladly put that one on the "installment" plan. Thanks for sharing!
