Hi Jim, Yeah that was a nice rifle but $449.99 is a but more then I would want to pay. Besides, I don't have the disposable income right now just put that 1917 on lay-a-way. If he still has it one I pay off the 1917 and he can work on the price I might buy it.
Thanks, for the information on the sling! The sling on the M48A I have is all kinds of odd looking but I've not taken the time to see what the correct sling looks like for the rifle.
