    My first Broomhandle think I did ok

    Went in a store to purchase a different gun and came out with this in addition to my original purchase. I have identified as a postwar bolo. Paid $350...thoughts?











    The only number that doesn't "match" is on a knob that pushes back and forth to the right of the sight ladder

    Nothing wrong with that gun. Well used and honest. Is there anything left in the barrel?

    Not bad at all. You will need to find a rear site slide and the part" knob that pushes back and forth to the right of the sight ladder" is called the bolt stop. Ill have to look at my M1930 model to see if its marked with a serial number. It might be marked on the part that sticks into the receiver.

    I have one that has the map of the middle east stamped on it through proof marks. Got it in
    Israel about 20 years ago. Also got a spare set of matching original grips and screw.
