C&R Addiction reboot

[labrat1469]

I've been away from the C&R collection for a few years getting things straight in my life but I'm back. In the past year Ive picked up a few sporters to restore to pass my time and spend my money on.

My latest project is a 1940 337 K98. Its was in a gaudy sporterized laminated stock. I still have the brass medallions he embedded into the stock and from the brass medallions it was acquired in Italy in 1945. Normally you see a four digit serial with a letter suffix. I'm not kidding when I say it's a low serial number rifle. SN# is 55. And to drive the restoration on it's also all matching. All I need is a laminated stock kit and possibly a bayonet to finish restoring the rifle.

Other projects in the works:
3/19 Springfield 1903 Mark 1
1935 S/42G K98
1940 Mas36

A store was going out of business and started to discount their inventory. I originally went to get a M39 Mosin. But with a few moments of haggling I walked out with both. BTW I paid $400 for the M39

Well I am a nut 91/30 I got in bad condition so I restored it, so of course I had to buy the M44 Then I got a Steyr M95 Full Version then found a Budapest Carbine M95 need some attention got it to shooter grade like the others, Well then I ah just had to have a 6.5 Japanese Type 38, And Don`t ya know I am on the look out for the 7mm Japanese as well. Addiction eh I could be doing so much worse.

I prefer to spend my money on guns, liquor, and women. Everything else is just wasted.

Definately worse things to spend your money on, and considering recently I only buy if I see a deal (and as such don't really know what my next purchase is) you don't lose money that way.

If you delete the women, you'd have heaps more to spend.

1000% but just like guns there is something about them that keeps drawing me back...

But life isn't as much fun without the women.
