    A New Carbine Today WRA 1,030,621

    Looks like a great memorial weekend
    Today (Friday) I picked up the Spring Tube WRA 1,030,621 that I had to make payments on.
    It was offered to me a week after buying a new 1911 and 2 carbines.
    Luckily the seller and I have a good history and he allowed me to make 3 payments on it.
    I'll try to put some pictures together this weekend while I clean it up and do the CC data sheet.
