Re: Canadian MP marked pistol

Great pickup! I just saw that the Canadian Military is going to scrap their Browning HiPower 9mm pistols and there are several thousand of them. You got an escapee from the Great White North so it is a banner day.

Re: Classic VI Takedown 10/22

I can't believe someone took the special stocks off of limited edition guns to scavenge barreled actions. But, hey... I'd buy it for a project if one comes up.
