Added an IBM tonight

[Rustship]

A few more pics, in case it explodes at shooting range LOL. Oh yes I forgot to mention, I had to buy my wife a 32" flat screen TV and hang it on the wall in the bedroom last night (PITA) but I guess it was worth it.

[Tired Retired]

You should have mounted the TV in the gun safe and mounted that new Carbine on the bedroom wall... That definitely has some "pleasing to look at" qualities!

What type of mag is that?
Any markings on that frt sight?
It might just be me wishing on your part, but I swear when I blow the picture up showing the right rear side and buttplate I can see remnants of a CC.
Really nice looking grain on that stock.

You and your grandson enjoy that !
Let us know how it shoots...

P.S. Serial Range?

[Rustship]

Charlie,
Serial number range is 39269xx, mag is one I have had IS marked, it came with what looks like a 20rd mag with follower. Only markings I have seen are IO in the slingwell and handguard. My eyes not so good, and I would like to know how you all blow up these posted pictures. I dont know how to do that. Educate me.

Just click on the pic.

I was under the impression they are zooming in more then that, unless they are imprting the picture to another program that has a lot higher magnification. Is that possible?

You know, that pistol did have a little bit of sentiment. Most all of the guns I owned were passed down by my Dad. But, when he was alive, thats all he did was trade, buy, and give to us kids. Most of the guns he dealt with were hard to find items, but anytime I made a transaction he said if thats what you want do it. In 84 or 85 at a gun show in Houston with him, I borrowed $425.00 to buy an UZI model A, He told me I had rocks in my head, but in 91,92, or 93 when the assault weapon ban took place and we were at his favorite Pistol Range, the store had an UZI model A in the showcase for sale for $5500.00. My dad looked at me and said well, I guess you dont have rocks in your head. LOL, and I miss him alot! So, moral of the story - I dont think he would have minded.

I miss my Dad everyday too Rustship. He was bigger than life. It has been ten years and I still dream about him like I saw him Yesterday. He sounds a lot like your Dad Rustship. While growing up he gave me several guns and a couple of the guns I traded off or sold after he passed away young from a brain tumor, were just guns he casually gave to me. I never traded off anything very interesting, or very valuable (He traded modern pistols and hunting rifles all the time and had a full spectrum of cheap to very expensive. (He just bought what he wanted or found interesting at the moment)

He had a huge collection of some VERY valuable modern guns though. He had a full collection of Belgium made Browning Citories (sp?) in every caliber, and he had an almost complete set of Browning semi auto rifles. He also had a full collection of every caliber of Remington 1100's in every caliber in including 16 and 410 gauge. Tons of other rifles, such as a Marlin lever action in 30 cal carbine, and a Marlin lever action in 357 mag.
(He had a Trapdoor one of his business big-shots gave him) - He wasn't interested in it all and he gave it to me. I didn't even know what it was until years later and I had gotten into milsurps. (I still have it and would never get rid of it, even though it's not very valuable)

He had a HUGE handgun collection of everything you can imagine. Cheap pistols all the way up to very high dollar pistols like the new then, desert eagle 44 mag. He died suddenly and my mom went nuts selling off all kinds of his property, including three cars he and I were restoring and a WWII jeep we were restoring and she sold his entire gun collection to a wholesaler for pennies on the dollar. (Another painful story I won't delve into) Some of what she sold to the wholesaler scumbag leach were even my guns I had left in his gun safes! She said that she didn't want bad feelings between us kids, so she sold off everything and didn't even tell us!

I still have his favorite hunting rifle that he gave me when he was sick with the brain tumor (243 Mannlicher) -
He got it for a song from a little hardware store when I was a kid and he must have told the story a 1000 times.

He was a Korean War vet, and I feel he'd be happy with my collection.
Most of the civilian guns I traded off were my own civilian guns I'd bought since I was a kid. I had no interest in them, and I had given up gun hunting back when my dad was still alive and I have hunted only with a bow every since. I never spent family money for any of my milsurps (Money from my pay check ALL went to my family account) - I bought all of my milsurp collection by saving money from eBay sales of 'crap' and trading off guns such as a 44 'pug' of a manufacture I don't remember. I checked Gunbroker finished sales for all of the civilian guns I traded off or sold at shows and got whatever the going prices were.

Just want to say again, I think you made an outstanding trade! JMO, as always, I'd have made that trade for your IBM in a New York minute!
GREAT story about the UZI! - I bet both of our dads would have approved of our trades where we traded 'UP' - My dad always said he wasn't 'married' to anything he had in his huge collection other than his Mannlicher that he got for a song from a local hardware store when I was a kid.

On the bottom right corner on this PC above the time it shows a 'Change Zoom Level'
Normally it's at 100% but I can click on it and pick different zoom ranges.
Pushing down the CTRL key and the + key will zoom in. Pushing down both the CTRL AND - key will zoom out.

Next to where the box has 100% you click on the down arrow to open up the size zoom you want.

Sorry best I can explain.

Faint Inland cross cannons on right butt, as Charlie said.

It's funny you brought that up about Mannlicher's, my dad always talked about them and had several that one of my brothers got when we split up his collection.
