[1stRaider]

My max bid was $2388, and was considering bidding more if I was outbid. I primarily collect early WW2 USMC, and have a lot of interest in Guadalcanal/Raider items. I was surprised by the lack of interest in this rifle, without you and another fellow bidding on it I could have gotten it for $700. Big Larry had one documented with a USMC sales receipt like this one which was the only one I'd ever even heard of. I researched this Marine on Ancestry.com and he retired in 1958, and he bought this rifle in 1953. Previously I'd heard Marines had an opportunity to buy one at retirement if certain conditions were met but he got this one 5 years before retirement.
