Bought a Gold Cup from Mark in '79 and worked with him at Wright Mine for a few years. Good people there.
Haven't seen him in years, sounds like a good road trip for me to catch up on old times.
Thanks for the post reminding me of long forgotten times.

My dad graduated from Rose (Poly) in 1945. He was the one who got me interested in firearms by giving me a .22 when I was 8 (still have it). I think he would be proud to see his fellow alums conducting these experiments as he was quite a firearms enthusiast.
I am still quite proud to have...

I ordered two rifles by snail mail on 3/22/11.
They sent confirmation on 3/30/11.
The order shipped on Thursday and arrived at the Indy FedX terminal on Friday morning but the Holiday weekend put a crimp in their delivery and it is waiting to be delivered tomorrow. A little over a month to...
Guys:
Thanks for the generous input from all who posted. Didn't mean to hijack the OP's thread but I hope he kept reading and will "pull the trigger" on his purchase. The amount of views on this topic should be an indicator of the interest in this rifle. I believe every firearm enthusiast...
Thanks for the advice.
Newb quesstion though- Is the proper method:
1) Using only your right hand to both hold the op-rod back and inserting the clip while holding the fore-end of the stock with your left? or
2) Holding the op-rod back with your right hand and inserting the clip with the...
I got my notice today that my order info was received. I'm relieved it got there due to nature of info sent, so I can sit back and wait for Fed-Ex.
If anyone's interested_ Sent by regular mail on 3-22, received by Anniston on 3-24, and got my confirmation # today>

Just my luck- Too little(money), too late(interest in the rifle).
Will keep my eyes open anyway, in case I luck into something.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Sounds really good. I want to find a Winchester and International Harvester to round out the set. Will work to replace replacement parts to correct grade as I can.
Greg
That's good news. I was prepared for a 2 or 3 month wait.
I guess after procrastinating for 40+years that a couple of months ain't gonna seem like an eternity. Thanks for the encouragement. Hope your rifles were all you expected, and more.

I always wanted an M1 so Tuesday I put in an order for a Service Grade Springfield and a Service Grade H&R. Hated sending a copy of every piece of ID I own but having to trust the US Postal Service. Really would like to get my hands on an International Harvester model as they were made in...
