We have one at the shop complete with the original papers from the CMP, it originally sold for $75.00. We are asking $799.00. You did very well.

But don't sell it! You'll love shooting it, and it'll only go up in value from the @ $750 it's around now.Lotema wrote:You could flip that overnight and double your money easy. A little work, good photos etc, you could likely triple it. Very nice deal. The question now is how good does it shoot?!! My first American rifle was a m1903 Mark I with a 42 barrel. That one is an insanely good shooter. For a first American, you did very well and are gonna really like it at the range! Congrats!
You must've had some good karma coming to you, gsragtop!

sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the
dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an
equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I stop in every pawn shop/gun store I can find and just am persistent. You never know what walks in the door next.

This is not accurate. Some M2 that was manufactured before 1957 was non-corrosive. For specifics see:sapishka wrote: m2ball if its before 1957 head stamp ,yes corrosive primed .

What a wonderful story. It just goes to show that they are still out there.
