Thread is somewhat dated, but only by a few months months. :-)

Stencollector, I recall seeing several of these in the 60s and 70s as a young kid who liked to visit "surplus" stores, when they seemed to have a lot more REAL surplus. I think one sold on Gun Broker maybe 8 years back but recall nothing about the price. Wasn't my thing. Like most of these things, it takes a dedicated search to find them when you want them, plus a few good friends to keep a "lookout" if they know you have an interest in such things.

I was once given a 7.5 Carcano from a work mate who knew I "liked guns". Said they found it inside the wall of an apartment building they were remodeling. Lord knows why someone hides a rifle inside a wall, behind the wall board?? Never shot it even though I had the ammo. Traded it away a good number of years back now. Not sad about it. Carcanos are not my thing either, even though it was in pretty good shape and had a very clean bore. It had around a $100 value at the time. Kinda a low end item in my mind. lol.

Hope I don't get banned for making that statement on a military surplus site!!
