...I've got one I picked up at CMPicon back in 2004.....for $400....1943 Springfield receiver with a June '57 VAR barrel....absolutely amazingly accurate for me with LC ball ammo...

...now I can show my wife your post and say "see snookums???...its gone UP in value and is not a piece of **** like you said...".......then I'll run away before she can kick me...
