How's this for an epilogue? I just won a batch of rifles at Rock Island Auction which includes a pretty nice looking MkIIIB (which is why I was bidding on the lot). It's in full military trim, and looks like it will be an excellent shooter for me. Gotta say, I wouldn't have given it a close look before the time I spent doing this video.

I still am keeping another open place in the rack for a MkII, though...
