Found a Rock-Ola

[jimb16]

There were 4 guys lined up behind me hoping I would put the carbine down. Once it got into my hands, I wouldn't let go. Those guys were actually arguing about who was in line first! I kept it in the crook of my arm while I took my wallet out. I wasn't about to give any of those guys a chance to abscound with it! As far as I can tell, there are no fake/repro parts. I'm not sure that it is a restoration either. There is some pitting along the wood line on the receiver and a little bit on the rear of the bolt. I think they have been together for a long time. The rest of it is in very nice condition with little finish wear. Yes, I did have a couple guys ask if I wanted to sell it. I wouldn't even give them a hyper inflated price. I was afraid one of them might agree! *LOL*

I haven't really been going to shows in more than a year. Three years ago you could still find a Rockola. An acquaintance was waiting for me to show me one he had in his car. He didn't have it on his table. It was a 6.2 mil with Inland barrel, bayo lug and adj sight. Another was either at that show door walking in or may have been the next show there. It was in rebuilt condition with orig barrel. They were both good prices.
