    I would have to agree. An early Savage built M1928A1 is a thing of beauty. (Rae takes care of accounts receivable)

    I liked the ones that were blue and had all the features best. I had a chance to see ALL the variants including Turkishicon manufactured brass receiver guns in Nicosia Cyprus in 1975. The Turks were the Parachute regt and had them almost exclusively for city fighting. They would lean them against a wall about two streets over from the green line and hang their pistol belt with three or five cell pouches on the muzzles and work at clean up, fortifying or whitewashing the walls. We could see in detail which model, M1icon(A1), early '28 or late...features were visible. Could have loaded a pickup truck... No drums were ever seen, a mix or 20/30 rd mags were issued.
